Want this question answered?
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
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.
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
The vacuum flask otherwise known as a thermos flask
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.
Um......your question is worded oddly, but the way an thermos is insulated is by having a vacuum between it's two flasks. The vacuum causes heat transfer to reduce greatly.

the thermos bottle's walls are double, with vacuum between. And vacuum is the best insulator we know.
The vacuum flask otherwise known as a thermos flask
It has a Vacuum seal mainly to get rid of the air that has already entered the thermos.
Can be, if the vacuum is good. In glass thermos if the glass is not broken it is okay. In steel thermos if the vacuum has not been lost it will be. You can test a steel thermos by simply filling it with boiling water, if the outside of the thermos becomes hot the vacuum has been lost and one will need a new thermos.

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 main idea is to reduce the heat transfer out of the vacuum bottle, or into it. A vacuum greatly reduces the transfer of heat by conduction and convection, while the mirror reduces heat transfer by radiation.
it prevents conduction and convection the 2 main causes of heat transfer
