What does kilojoule per minute measure?

Kilojoule per minute measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilojoule delivered each minute, used often in physiological and calorimetry settings.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT) per second?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT) per second helps compare heat transfer rates and metabolic energy using units prevalent in older thermal engineering and biomedical literature.

Are kilocalorie (IT) units widely used today?

Kilocalorie (IT) units are less common in modern SI-based measurements, potentially limiting direct comparison with contemporary data.
