What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute measures the rate of energy transfer in terms of one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute, commonly used for nutritional or thermal energy rates.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to pound-foot/second?

Conversion allows translating energy rates from nutritional or thermal units into mechanical power units used in Imperial measurement systems, aiding integration in engineering and legacy data analysis.

Can this converter be used for fluctuating power measurements?

No, the conversion assumes constant power rates and does not account for transient or fluctuating power conditions.
