Abstract: In this paper theoretical and experimental study of serpentine tube flat plate collector for evaporation of water in the effluent is presented. The performance of the flat plate collector depends on various factors including the collector construction and the arrangement of the system. The prototype working model has been fabricated to prove the feasibility and viability of the evaporation system. Results obtained show that the evaporation rate of water in the effluent increases, with the increase in solar radiation, wind velocity and decrease in mass flow rate of effluent, relative humidity and concentration of the effluent. The evaporation rate of effluent in the single cover serpentine tube flat plate collector is found to increase by 41% compared to the solar pan and 16% to the single cover FRP flat plate collector.
