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.

Why sides of thermos bottle are silvered?
Silver is a great heat and light reflector. That means if you store cold water in a thermos, the heat from outside cannot get into the thermos easily because the heat is reflected by the silver color of the thermos.
How many cups are in a thermos?
It depends entirely on the size of your thermos. They come in different volumes.
What is the best estimate for the capacity of a thermos?
It depends on the size and volume of the Thermos. A family Thermos may have a capacity of 2 litres (~8 cups), a personal Thermos can be 0.5 litres (~2 cups).
Is thermos a conductor or insulator?
you tell me if you fill a thermos with hot soup or hot chocolate put the lid on and then touch it is it hot or cold. odds are it is warm so it is hard to say. but the thermos is an insulator
How does a flask keep hot liquid hot?
There are several types of flasks. They are all containers or vessels, usually designed to carry a liquid and often made of glass. They sometimes have a cap and are narrower at the top, but usually do not have a handle.The first distinction is flasks that are used in a laboratory. There are several types, including erlenmeyer flasks, florence flasks, round bottom flasks, distilling flasks, volumetric flasks, and others. A description of each one is listed to the left under the Related Questions links.Another type of flask is instead used to carry alcohol. It is a small container usually shaped to fit in a back pocket. It can hold any liquid but usually was designed for alcohol.See the Related Questions and Web Links to the left for more information and pictures of different types of flasks.
What is a thermos flask made of?
out of steel
What is inside a thermos?

Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
What is the other name for a vacuum flask?
A Thermos.
What do you call the object that keeps water hot for hours?
Thermos flask or vacuum flask.
Is a thermos flask also good for keeping water cold for several hours?
Yes. The thermos flask can reduce the amount of heat travelling from the surroundings to the cold water
What Are Some Objects That Minimize Heat Transfer?
The vacuum flask otherwise known as a thermos flask
How does a thermos flask reduce conduction?
There is air between the inside and outside of the flask.
What is flask and how is it used?
A flask is basically a thermos that is used to hold liquids (beverages) that are meant to be kept warm.
What is the thermo flask?
Thermos flask is a thermos container used to store liquids like any hot drink. The liquid added to thermos flask will retain the temperature even after some time irrespective of external temperatures.
What is the main cause of heat loss in a normal thermos flask?
The main heat loss in a good thermos flask, is due to heat conducted through the material. (Glass or Stainless Steel). There should be little heat lost through the vacuum of the flask.
How a thermos flask minimizes energy losses from convection?
As the flask is closed air tight, no convection current is possible.
