This research work presents the development of algorithms and programs used for classifying of white rice grains obtained from the camera by using image processing techniques. This procedure begins with improving input images converting color images to binary images by setting the threshold value automatically by using the Otsu’s method noise filter process image processing with structural elements that form a square determining the grain boundary by using the Canny’s operator determining the length of the grain by using the Euclidean’s method. Next the length results of the grains have been obtained from the decision process based on the Rice Standards of Thailand (RST) in order to receive the type solutions of tested white rice. From the testing results for 800 images it has been shown that in case of 500 images the developed program provided the mean absolute error of the grain length of 0.01 mm per grain. Moreover for testing of 300 images the developed program provided the separation accuracy of the grains up to 99.33% in term of the RST. This can be useful in determining the price of white rice in a rice mill with farmers.

This research aimed to find the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the split type air conditioner by using the cool air from a ventilation fan in the air conditioning room for cooling the condenser. Two simulation rooms size 120x120x200 centimeters were constructed. The first room was installed the evaporator and the second room was installed the condenser and a ventilation fan in the lower part of the air conditioning room to deliver the cool air for cooling the condenser. Then the system was tested and compared the energy efficiency ratio and the reduced power consumption between turning on and turning off a ventilation fan. The results of the proposed air conditioner system observed from the various load conditions at 0% 30% 60% and 100% The surrounding temperature of the condenser ranged in 30C 40C and 50C It was found that the energy efficiency ratios increased in the range of 2.94% to 5.92% and the power consumptions decreased in the range of 4.56% to 12.5% The possibility of increasing the efficiency of the air conditioner system by using the cool air from ventilation fan in the air conditioning room for cooling the condenser was verified by the increased energy efficiency ratios and the reduced power consumptions.
