What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer, specifically how many kilocalories (per the International Table) are delivered or consumed each minute.

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

To express power in SI units suitable for very small energy levels, such as those in microelectronics or photonics, where nanojoule-scale power is relevant.

Are there any challenges when converting between these units?

Yes, the conversion results in very large numbers owing to the difference in scale, and care must be taken with numerical precision and unit relevance.
