What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate at which one kilocalorie (International Table) of energy is transferred or consumed per minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to milliwatt?

To translate calorie-based metabolic or thermal energy rates into standardized SI power units used in engineering and scientific contexts.

Is milliwatt a standard unit for power?

Yes, milliwatt is a standard SI unit representing one thousandth of a watt, commonly used for low power measurements.
