What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

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

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to watts?

To express thermal energy flow rates in the standard SI unit system for consistency across scientific and engineering fields.

Can I use this conversion for electrical power?

No, kilocalorie (th)/minute is specific to thermal energy transfer, so it does not directly apply to electrical power measurements.
