What does one kilocalorie (IT)/minute represent?

It represents a power unit expressing the rate at which one kilocalorie of energy (according to the International Table) is transferred or consumed each minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to hectojoule/second?

This conversion helps translate energy rates expressed in nutritional or thermal terms into a standard SI-based power unit suitable for electrical and mechanical applications.

Is hectojoule/second an SI unit?

Hectojoule/second is derived from joules per second where 1 hJ/s equals 100 watts, aligning with SI-based power measurements.
