What is a terawatt (TW)?

A terawatt is an SI power unit equal to 10^12 watts, used to express very large energy transfer rates such as national or planetary-scale power flows.

What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute, often used in metabolic or thermal energy contexts.

Why convert terawatts to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Converting helps translate vast power data into units reflecting human metabolism or small-scale heating, enabling easier understanding and comparison.
