Can someone please explain to me what are the definition of the Integral and Differential Heat of Dilution. What is the difference between them?

Thank you in advance.

Essentially, differential is if you added a tiny amount at current conc. what'd be the heat as reported on a per mass (or mole) basis.

Integral is total heat to reach current conc. averaged out & reported on a per mass basis.

If every increment leads to same additional heat then they are  both the same.
