Thus, measuring surface roughness using computer vision became easier and more flexible. Texture features are one of the most important techniques that have been utilized in industries in many applications. In this paper, the texture features of the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) have been utilized to predict surface roughness of specimens machined by tunin<span style="text-decoration: underline;">g </span>operations. The relationship between GLCM texture features and surface roughness has been investigated to discover which texture features can be used to predict surface roughness. The correlation coefficient between each texture feature and the arithinetic average height (Ra) was calculated and discussed. The investigation showed that six texture features are highly correlated with R<sub>a</sub>.

An experimental test loop equipped with the required measuring instruments was designed and constructed to assess the effects of nano-particles concentration, mass flow rate, and applied heat flux on the convection heat transfer process and pressure drop. The tested tube fitted with screw helical tape inserts to evaluate its effects on heat transfer rate and friction factor with nanofluid and pure water as a working fluid. The measurements of temperature, flow rate, applied volt and pressure drop are recorded and manipulated to calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient and friction factor. </strong><br /> <strong>The obtained experimental results show that, wall temperature is reduced by using nanofluid compared with pure water. Accordingly, the convection heat transfer coefficient increased when using nanofluid and it also increased with increasing heat flux and mass flow rate (Reynolds number). Higher rates of heat transfer and pressure drop are obtained from the tube fitted with screw helical tape insert compared to flow in a plain tube under similar conditions. This improvement in the convection heat transfer coefficient characterized by a swirling flow as a result of the secondary flow of the fluid flow inside tube with helical tape and the area of the tape inserted. The average value for the thermal hydraulic performance (ŋ) for tube with inserting helical tape was 1.4 for water only, and 1.8 for nanofluid at concentration 0.2%.

Based on this preliminary information, the proposed system locates the faulty line. Then, the set of <em>r</em>elays with suspected preliminary operation zones, that needs to be examined, is identified using some rules. This limited set of relays is solely considered in the next validation stages to save the processing time. The scheme verifies the relay zone reach in two steps.

In the second step, another rule-base is applied to determine the final zone for the relay based on its modified zone. The governing rules for the proposed strategy are presented.
