Why is there a large conversion factor between these units?

Because kilocalorie (IT)/second and calorie (th)/minute are based on different calorie definitions with different time scales, leading to a significant numeric conversion value.

Can this converter be used for dynamic energy transfer rates?

This tool is intended for steady-state conditions; dynamic rates may require more specialized analysis beyond simple unit conversion.

What fields commonly use this power unit conversion?

Engineering calorimetry, physiological measurement, metabolic research, laboratory heat transfer studies, and food science energy evaluations regularly utilize this conversion.
