I am unable to find a suitable value for Heat of Dilution of concentrated H2SO4. I will share my calculation here as well but first I need this value to be settled.

I have x2 documents
1] 95 kJ/mol 2] 71.76 kJ/mol
Background: I am determining cooling load while drying wet Cl2 gas using circulated H2SO4 in a drying packed tower (98w.t% > 78w.t%)

Can anyone check my calculations. Especially the part where I calculated the amount of hydrated acid ..bcz this is directly linked with heat generated

Thank pierreick for the help!

pierreick (Chemical),
Extremely thanks for the resource. BTW the last one is valid upto 10 wt% of acid & I am handling 78 - 98%
However, your literature proved highly helpful. A side observation:

p-17 of your 2nd last resource. Why the metal loss is highest b/w 80-83wt% of acid while it lowers again at below concentrations than this. Any microscopic stuff happening here?
 
Seems to me there might be a tradeoff between availability of the acid molecules at the surface vs. the diffusivity of the free molecules in reaching to the surface.
