Why convert from kilocalorie (IT)/minute to kilojoule/hour?

Converting allows translation of energy rates from a minute-based nutritional or thermal scale into an hourly metric, enabling easier comparison for longer-term energy assessments.

What are typical applications for kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

It is commonly used to express human metabolic rates or exercise energy expenditure and to report energy transfer in heating or cooling devices that use food-energy units.

When is kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) preferred?

Kilojoule per hour is useful for describing small to moderate energy transfer rates over hours, such as in building physics, laboratory calorimetry, and metabolic energy reporting.
