What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

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

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to kilowatt?

Converting to kilowatt standardizes thermal power measurements into a common SI unit, facilitating engineering, scientific, and practical comparisons with electrical and mechanical power.

Can this conversion be used for all types of power?

No, this conversion specifically applies to thermal power units and may not accurately represent non-thermal or transient power forms.
