How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
How does a vacuum bottle keep food hot or cold?
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.
What do you calla substance that reduces heat energy transfer?
An insulator
A thermos bottle has a shiny interior What type of heat transfer does it prevent?
It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.It prevents heat loss through radiation.
What method of heat transfer prevents cold draughts?
Insulation

What does an insulator do to the rate of heat transfer?
It reduces the rate of transfer.

Can you explain the transfer of heat within a material?
The transfer of heat within a material, I don't know about. But I can help you with the transfer of heat from one material to another. Heat always moves from the warmer material to the colder one. It does this until it reaches equilibrium. this means when both objects have the same amount of heat energy.
Trapped air is a good what because it reduces heat transfer?
Insulator.
What do we call a material that reduces the flow of heat?
That would be - an insulator.
What is the definition about thermoflask?
Thermoflask ia a pot designed to prevent heat loss from the fluid inside it, due to any of the three heat transfer mechanism (convetion, conduction or radiation). Similarly it prevents the heat from outside, from getting into the material.
What is the transfer of heat within a material?
This is conduction.
What will happen when a cold material interacts with a hot material?
The heat will transfer from the hot material to the cold material. Heat tends to go where it is not.
