What does kilojoule per minute measure?

Kilojoule per minute measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilojoule delivered or consumed each minute, representing power.

How is Btu (IT)/second used in industry?

Btu (IT)/second is used to specify heat output in boilers, furnaces, and HVAC equipment and for energy-balance calculations involving heat transfer.

Why is converting between kJ/min and Btu/s important?

Conversion allows consistent comparison and integration of energy transfer rates expressed in metric and British thermal units, especially in engineering and HVAC contexts.
