What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/minute represent in power terms?

It represents the rate of thermal energy flow equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute, quantifying power in thermal contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to hectowatt [hW]?

Converting allows users to compare thermal power with electrical or mechanical power ratings using a standardized SI-derived unit.

Is hectowatt a common unit for power measurement?

Hectowatt is an SI-derived unit equal to 100 watts but is less commonly used than watts, often serving specific small power rating contexts.
