What does a kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal power as one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per minute, quantifying heat energy flow over time.

How is Btu (th)/second used?

It expresses the rate of heat transfer using thermochemical British thermal units delivered each second, common in HVAC and industrial heating.

Can I convert mechanical power using this tool?

No, this tool is designed for thermal energy rate conversions and may not apply correctly to mechanical power units.

Examples

Convert 10 Kilocalorie (th)/minute to Btu (th)/second: 10 × 0.0661386952 = 0.661386952 Btu (th)/s.
Convert 50 Kilocalorie (th)/minute to Btu (th)/second: 50 × 0.0661386952 = 3.30693476 Btu (th)/s.

Common Use Cases

Expressing human metabolic power or exercise energy expenditure measurements.
Rating heat output of small burners, grills, or laboratory heaters.
Comparing thermal energy rates for HVAC equipment capacity and boiler output.
Analyzing transient heat transfer rates in energy-system performance.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure use of thermochemical definitions of calories and British thermal units in conversions.
Use this tool mainly for thermal energy transfer rates, not mechanical power measurements.
Refer to example calculations to verify conversion results.
Be mindful of rounding when applying conversion outputs in practical scenarios.

Limitations

Conversion is specific to thermochemical calorie and Btu definitions; other variants are not supported.
Rounding can affect precision in practical usage.
Conversions focus on thermal energy contexts, so applying results to mechanical power can be inappropriate.
