What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

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

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

To express thermal power in smaller units suitable for low-power applications and precise analysis in physiology and low-power electronics.

Is millijoule/second suitable for large-scale thermal power?

No, it is optimized for very low-power systems such as sensors or microscale thermal experiments.
