Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to calorie (th)/hour?

Converting between these units helps express thermal power in smaller, precise units suitable for detailed calorimetry and physiological studies, especially when comparing different calorie standards.

What fields commonly use this conversion?

Chemical engineering, biomedical analysis, physiological metabolism research, and laboratory heat transfer measurements often require this conversion.

Is calorie (th)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/hour is not an SI unit, and watts are generally preferred for power measurements in modern standards.
