What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer where one kilocalorie (International Table) is delivered or consumed per minute, commonly used in metabolic and heat energy contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie/minute to picojoule/second?

This conversion is useful to express nutritional or thermal energy rates in extremely fine power units needed for electronics and photonics applications.

Is picojoule/second used in everyday power measurements?

No, picojoule/second quantifies very small power levels, typically relevant in microelectronics and sensitive optical systems rather than everyday energy use.
