What does kilocalorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures power as energy transfer at one kilocalorie (International Table) per second, commonly used to report thermal power.

Why convert to pound-foot/second?

Pound-foot/second expresses mechanical power in Imperial units, helpful for engineers working with US customary measurements.

Is pound-foot/second widely used today?

It is less common in modern SI-focused settings but remains relevant for legacy data and certain engineering calculations.
