What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer based on thermochemical kilocalories delivered per minute, often used in physiology and calorimetry.

Why use joule per minute instead of watts?

Joule per minute measures energy transfer over a minute interval, which can be more intuitive for certain applications involving minute-scale averaging.

Can I convert the result from joule/minute to watts?

Yes, since 1 J/min equals 1/60 watt, you can convert joule per minute values to watts for standard engineering requirements.
