What does kilocalorie (th)/second measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per second, often used in thermal power and heat flow rate contexts.

Why would I convert kilocalorie (th)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

This conversion helps translate thermal power units to a format compatible with nutritional or appliance energy metrics expressed per minute in the International Table calorie system.

Can I directly compare kilocalorie (th)/second and kilocalorie (IT)/minute values?

They represent power based on different calorie definitions and time units, so exact equivalency requires careful conversion considering these differences.

Key Terminology

Kilocalorie (th)/second: A power unit representing one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred every second, used to measure thermal power or heat flow.
Kilocalorie (IT)/minute: A power unit representing one International Table kilocalorie transferred or consumed per minute, often used in nutritional or thermal energy rates.
Calorie: A unit of energy; the thermochemical and International Table definitions differ slightly and are used in different contexts.
Conversion Rate: The numerical factor used to translate one unit to another; here, 1 kilocalorie (th)/second equals approximately 59.9598738894 kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
