What does 1 watt represent?

1 watt is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule of energy transferred or converted per second.

Why convert watts to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting watts to calorie (th)/minute is helpful to express power as thermal energy transfer rates, commonly needed in calorimetry and metabolic rate measurements.

Is calorie (th)/minute a standard SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/minute is not an SI standard unit; it is used mainly in specific scientific and food science contexts.
