What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It is a power unit representing the rate of thermochemical kilocalorie energy transfer per minute, often used in physiological and calorimetric contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to centiwatt?

Converting to centiwatt helps correlate thermal energy rates to very low power scales typical in ultra-low-power electronics and sensor devices.

Are there any precision issues when converting between these units?

Yes, because centiwatt is a very small unit, maintaining calculation accuracy is important to avoid rounding errors especially for large thermal powers.
