What does a kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.

How do I convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Multiply the value in kilocalorie (th)/minute by 60 to get the equivalent in kilocalorie (th)/hour.

Where is this unit conversion commonly applied?

It is used in physiology for metabolism, HVAC for appliance ratings, and in calorimetry and thermal energy research.
