How does a thermos flask reduce conduction?
There is air between the inside and outside of the flask.
How does a thermos flask reduce heat loss by conduction?
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.

How can the structure of the vacuum flask minimise energy transfer by conduction convection and radiation?
The flask has a double wall, with no air between the two walls (vacuum)- conduction. The walls are highly reflective silver- radiation. the flask has a small beck that is closed by a stopper or cap-convection.
Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.

The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
Why you create vacuum in thermos flask?
This reduces heat transport through conduction and convection.
Function of a flask?
A flask is used to mantain temperature of something inside it. It prevents the loss of heat through convection, conduction or radiation. It has a vaccum in between the refill and the wall which stops convection and conduction. The walls are coloured white so that heat does not radiate.
How do flasks keep drinks hot?
because conduction,convection and radiation keep the flask thermal because of what they do
What will stop conduction once an scr breaks into conduction?
What does "the following"mean ?
What is a vacuum flask made of?
A vacuum flask is a type of flask that aims to stop all three forms of heat transfer. Conduction, convection and radiation. A vacuum flask prevents conduction by making a vacuum between the inside and the outside layer of the flask, so that the only solids that touch are the lid and the main body of the flask. This means the amount of conduction that occurs is minimised. One major drawback though, is when the hot water transfers heat with the cold air inside the flask, then the hot air transfers heat with the cold lid, and then on the likely chance that the lid is hotter than the surroundings, the lid transfers heat with the air molecules around it. This means that a considerable amount of heat is lost to the surroundings. The only way convection can occur is by the hot liquid or solid transferring heat with the trapped air inside the flask, although this only affects the temperature of the water by a bit, because most of the liquid condenses again. The flask is made so that radiation is reflected back of the sides, which is made of a shiny material. Also, the flask is not transparent; it is made of an opaque material, usually plastic or metal. The only way radiation can escape, is by the lid being taken off.
Which form of heat transfer is reduced by the use of vacuum inside a vacuum flask?
The vacuum reduces both conduction and convection.
When does thermal conduction in a solid stop?
In a solid, thermal conduction will only stop when the entire solid object has reached the same temperature.
