Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to joule/second?

Converting to joule/second allows power rates to be expressed in the standardized SI unit, simplifying comparison and use in engineering and scientific calculations.

Is joule/second different from watt?

No, joule per second is exactly equal to one watt, making it a convenient unit for power measurements.

Can all calorie definitions be used with this converter?

This converter specifically uses the thermochemical kilocalorie definition; other calorie types may cause variations.
