the advantages are-keep heat for longerreusablelightweightpopularthe disadvantages are- expensivesometimes made from bad materialscan be harmful to environment
How do you keep water warm for the longest time without using any heat source?
If the water is cold, you can keep it cold by storing it in a well insulated container, ideally a vacuum flask, or failing that, a Styrofoam chest. That doesn't keep it cold indefinitely, but it does keep it cold longer than if you did not use an insulated container. Also, even if you do not have electricity or ice boxes, you may still be able to buy a bag of ice. Many stores sell them.
Why vacuum flask keep cold liquids cool better than hot liquids warm?
It is due to heat transfer by radiation. You must first understand all objects emit some radiation, even room temperature items, but hotter items release greater radiation. With a hot liquid, the vacuum flask is releasing heat via radiation (radiant heat) outwards into the surroundings, the surroundings mostly absorb this radiant heat, therefore the radiant heat is constantly lost to the surroundings. However, with a cold liquid the radiant heat is transferred from the surroundings to the vacuum flask, where the vacuum flask is a relatively small "target" for the radiant heat to strike. Therefore the cold liquid only receives a small amount of radiant heat from the surroundings and thus changes temperature more slowly. Think of it this way: The surroundings is a very very large "target" for the heat released from the thermos to strike, while the thermos is a relatively tiny target for the heat from the surroundings to strike, thus it is easier for the thermos to lose heat than it is to absorb heat from the surroundings.
How is convection prevented in thermos flask?
A glass thermos 'bottle' is constructed as a bottle-within-a-bottle and there is a slight vacuum between the bottles, since heat can't travel within a vacuum it will keep the contents hot/cold for a long time. In addition, they usually have a mirror coating on the outside to reflect hot/cold from the environment. The cap usually is hollow with an insulating material like cork or poly-foam.
What is the name of the thing used to keep liquids warm or cold?
Vacuum flask.
Why does tea stay hot in a glass teapot?
Heat can be transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, radiation. In a vacuum flask, conduction and convection are greatly reduced through a vacuum (hence the name!) between two glass layers, whereas radiation is greatly reduced by the mirror coating on the same glass. As a result, heat takes much longer to get out - or in, since you can also keep cold things in a vacuum flask.Note that no vacuum flask will keep things hot (or cold) indefinitely; it simply takes much longer for hot things to cool down, or for cold things to heat up.
What Vacuum flask keeps liquid at same temperature?
There is no way to permanently store heat. The most you can expect, from a high-quality vacuum flask, is to keep the liquid cold, or hot, for a fairly long time. But gradually, some heat will seep in, or out, until the temperature in the vacuum flask will be equal to the temperature of the surroundings.
Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
How does a vacuum flask keep tea hot?
Insulation
How can vacuum flask keep hot things hot and cold things cold?
The statement of calling it a vacuum mean there a no atoms between a space without the atoms or molecules in this space heat can not be transferred. Without this transfer of heat things can not heat up or cool down.
What is A container to keep drinks cold?
A flask. It also keeps drinks hot.

What word means substances that keep warm things warm and cold things cold?
Things which keep warm things warm and cold things cold are referred to as insulators.

How did James dewar invent the vacuum flask?
During an experiment, James Dewar formed a brass chamber that he enclosed in another chamber to keep the palladium at its desired temperature. He evacuated the air between the two chambers, and through the need for this insulated container, he created the vacuum flask.
What can be held in a thermos flask?
Hot drinks such as tea and coffee are usually held in a thermos flask. The flask will keep the drink warm for several hours when one is outside or on the move. Cold drinks can also be kept in them or even non drinking liquids that one wishes to keep at a steady temperature.
