What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer as one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute, often used in physiology and calorimetry.

What is a dekawatt [daW]?

The dekawatt is a metric power unit equal to 10 watts, used for expressing energy transfer rates typically in tens of watts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to dekawatt?

To express thermal power values in a standardized metric unit, facilitating better comparison and engineering calculations.
