What is a kilocalorie (IT)/second?

It is a unit of power equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) of energy transferred every second, equivalent to 4,186.8 joules per second.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/second to newton meter/second?

Converting allows expressing thermal power in mechanical units like watts, facilitating comparison and integration between heat transfer and mechanical power data.

Is newton meter/second different from watt?

No, one newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is one watt, the standard SI unit of power.
