What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, with one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered every minute, used mainly in thermal and metabolic energy contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to kilojoule/hour?

Converting allows comparing and calculating energy transfer rates across different time scales, such as hourly rates in physiology or calorimetry.

Are there any limitations when using this conversion?

Yes, it assumes steady power output and may not be accurate for variable rates; differences in calorie definitions may also introduce small variations.
