I was reading this research paper titled ' A Fully Wet and Fully Dry Tiny Circular Fin Method for Heat and Mass Transfer Characteristics for Plain Fin-and-Tube Heat Exchangers Under Dehumidifying Conditions ', and tried to implement the algorithm mentioned in it for wet heat exchangers. But, I could not find any data related to outlet air enthalpy and outlet water temperature to calculate the Qavg as mentioned in the first step of the algorithm. Can anyone tell me where I can find that data?

Please refer to this article.
Basically, the Threlkeld method is widely used for wet heat exchangers data reduction.
You may find the detailed derivation of the "Threlkeld method" in the following book,
"Threlkeld, J. L„ 1970, Thermal Environmental Engineering, Prentice-Hall, Inc.,
New York, NY."
A descriptive explanation of this method is provided in the following article,
Chi-Chuan Wang, Yi Chung Hsieh, and Yur- Tsai Lin, "Performance of Plate Finned
Tube Heat Exchangers Under Dehumidifying Conditions", 1997, Journal of Heat Transfer.
