What does the unit pound-foot/second measure?

Pound-foot/second quantifies mechanical power as the work done per second expressed in Imperial units involving pound-force and feet.

When should I use kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute is ideal for expressing rates of energy transfer in metabolic studies, fitness contexts, or small-scale heating applications.

How is the conversion between these units calculated?

The conversion uses the factor that 1 pound-foot/second equals approximately 0.0194298932 kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
