Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

The following figure shows the critical position of a crane that supports 2.5 Tons of load by means of a chain. You are delegated the responsibility of building a crane with similar geometric characteristics and load capacity. The diagram of free body of the crane arm can be redrawn as follows. (check the attached image "fbd") Assuming that the crane arm will be made of steel with yield stress sigmaY =220 MPa and that you must consider a safety factor of F.S.=1.5, propose a profile from the following catalog for the manufacture of the crane arm. Ignore the effects of shear forces on this element. On the other hand, it is very important that you consider the effects of axial loads. Commercial profiles for arm construction.
