Why convert kilocalorie (th)/second to calorie (th)/hour?

This conversion helps express thermal power rates at a finer granularity or over longer periods, useful when moving from industrial scale heat flow rates to smaller laboratory or physiological measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for transient heat flow measurements?

No, the converter assumes steady-state thermal power rates and may not give accurate results for transient or non-steady conditions.

Are calorie-based units commonly used in modern scientific contexts?

Calorie-based units are non-SI and generally less preferred today, with watts being the standard SI unit for power measurement.
