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.

What do you call the object that keeps water hot for hours?

Thermos flask or vacuum flask.


How does a vacuum flask keep things cold?

A vacuum flask keeps things cold by using a vacuum layer between the inner and outer walls of the flask to reduce heat transfer through conduction and convection. This prevents outside heat from reaching the contents inside, helping to maintain their temperature for a longer period of time.


The presence of -------------- in a thermos flask keeps the substances either hot or cold?

A vacuum is the answer.


Why do boiled peas remain at the same temperature when placed in a vacuum flask for 72hours?

The boiled peas lost their energy, whilst being boiled. Energy gives out heat, yet the peas did not have any more energy, leaving them to remain as the same temperature as they were. Hope this helps :)


What is a themos flask?

It's a container that keeps liquid at the same temperature despite the surrounding temperature, buy minimising the amount of heat transfer from inside to outside. It uses a gap between an inner and outer vessel, that acts as an insulating layer.


What is the scientific principle of making thermos flask?

thermos flask actually works on the principle of insulator. air is trapped between 2 walls of the flask. air being a bad conductor of heat traps it between the walls. this keeps the material in the flask hot for a longer period.add. Actually, usually there is a vacuum between the two walls of the flask, for this is a better insulator than air. hence the name 'vacuum flask'.


Does a thermos freeze liquid?

A thermos is designed to keep liquids hot or cold for an extended period of time by minimizing heat transfer. While a thermos can help prevent liquid from freezing by maintaining its temperature, it is not intended for keeping liquids warm in freezing conditions or preventing freezing altogether.


Where do you get vacuum in the vacuum flask?

The flask works because there is a gap between the inner and outer walls of the flask. During the manufacturing process the air in the gap is extracted and the opening is sealed - creating a vacuum between the walls. Heat transmits rapidly through air - but a lot less rapidly, in fact only very, very slowly, through a vacuum. A vacuum flask not only keeps heat in, it also keeps it out. If you put iced water into a vacuum flask it will stay cold for a very long time.


From what language was thermos?

The word "thermos" is derived from the Greek word "therme," which means heat. It was coined around 1907 as a trademark for a vacuum flask that keeps liquids hot or cold.


What is the Functions of thermos flask with diagram?

The primary function of a thermos flask is to keep liquids hot or cold. There is an outer protective layer with a hollow area inside before the actual area where the liquid is stored. Heat or cold gets trapped in the hollow area and that is what keeps a liquid hot or cold.


What keeps water colder aluminum water bottles or stainless steel water bottles?

Vacuum insulated stainless steel bottles like one from Hydro Flask [see related link "hydro flask" below] or Thermos [see related link "thermos" below] will keep them coldest.


What is a thermos flasks structure?

A thermos flask typically consists of a double-walled glass or stainless steel container with a vacuum-sealed space in between to prevent heat transfer. The inner and outer walls are usually encased in a protective layer to further insulate the contents. The top of the flask has a tightly sealed lid to prevent air from entering or escaping, helping to maintain the temperature of the liquids inside.
