How do thermos work?
A thermos works with principle of Physics that vacuum is a pure insulator of heat. Thermos is made of two containers separated by a vacuum space which acts as an insulator of heat. Also the surface of thermos will be glassy which in turn helps in reduction of heat loss.
Is a mug a bad heat insulator?
Yes. Out of paper, plastic, glass, a thermos, a mug, and Styrofoam, the mug held the least heat in. The thermos is the best.
How does a thermos reduce heat transfer using convection?
A thermos reduces does not reduce heat transfer using convection, it reduces heat transfer BY convection. This is because there is a vacuum between the container of the liquid and the outer shell off the thermos. This means that no fluid will go round the inside conducting heat one way or the other. Hope this helped
Why is the inner of the thermos bottle is silvered?
because it radiates heat.
What feature of a thermos does not limit heat flow?
It's insulators
Where does the word thermos come from?
Thermos is from the Greek word 'thermos' meaning 'heat'.
What does therm mean in Greek?
thermostat, thermometer, thermos, hypothermia
Why sides of thermos bottle are silvered?
Silver is a great heat and light reflector. That means if you store cold water in a thermos, the heat from outside cannot get into the thermos easily because the heat is reflected by the silver color of the thermos.
What is a good slogan for a thermos called heat saver?
Save the heat in heat saver the only thermos that saves all the heat put into it Save heat with heat saver
This is having to do with heat?
Thermos

What is the greek or latin root word for thermostat?
The Latin root for the word thermosphere is thermos: meaning heat.
What is a heat-resitant container?
it is a thermos. It stores heat and Coldness. That is if you get a good one.
What refers heat?
The root word therm refers to heat, as it does in thermos bottles and thermometers.
What processes of heat transfer are affected with thermos flasks?
Conduction, convection and heat radiation.
