A vacuum between two glass sheets will greatly reduce heat loss through convection, and also through conduction. The fact that the glass is coated (to convert it to a mirror) also reduces the loss by radiation.
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and 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
It is especially designed to reduce heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. A vacuum between two layers reduces the heat transfer through conduction and convection; the fact that the surfaces are mirror-coated also reduces losses through radiation.
Vaccum between thermos walls does NOT prevent radiation, however the other forms of heat transfer(convection and conduction) are more or less eliminated. Radiation effect of heat transfer may be reduced by applying a layer of reflective material inside the bootles - to reflect the emmision back inwards.
Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.

This reduces heat transport through conduction and convection.
To reduce heat loss by thermal radiation.
Yes. The thermos flask can reduce the amount of heat travelling from the surroundings to the cold water

it consists a double walled glass vessel having a vaccum between the walls.both these walls are silvered on the vaccum side.no heat can enter or leave the inner flask by convection oor conduction across vaccum.a small amount of heat can be gained by the flask through by radiation but the silver surface to control radiant heat and reduce it to a minimum

The main heat loss in a good thermos flask, is due to heat conducted through the material. (Glass or Stainless Steel). There should be little heat lost through the vacuum of the flask.
This is due to insulation. Inside of the Thermos the liquid remains its placed temperature longer due to the insulating either stopping heat from reaching the fluid, or by stopping heat from leaving the fluid.
