How does fleece reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection?
it reflects the heat back
How does a thermos reduce heat transfer using convection?
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
How garments can be designed to reduce the transfer of heat by convection?
clothes can be made to reduce convection by making the air tighter so convection currents can't occur or if a material is shiny heat and light will reflect off it instead of absorbing it
How does a flask reduce heat loss by conduction and radiation?
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.

What thermal transfer does loft insulation reduce?
conduction
What does An insulator?
an insulator- to prevent or reduce the transfer of electricity,heat,or sound by surrounding or lining with a non-conducting material.

What is is an insulator?
An insulator is something that inhibits the movement of energy such as heat, sound, and light. In electrical usage, an insulator is a coating or material that prevents discharge from an electrical wire or system. In general terms, it means a barrier to something, such as heat, electricity or between people.
A material that reduces the flow of heat by conduction convection and radiation?
We call material that acts in that way a thermal insulator. Sometimes we shorten it to just insulation, but we need to be clear that we're talking about thermal energy and not, say, electrical energy.

What is perlite used in?
Hi there, Perlite is used as an insulator on board Liquefied Natural Gas Tankers. This is used as a thermal and fireproofing insulator to reduce the risk of fire and explosion

How dpes cavity between walls reduce the heat transfer from a house?
Dead air space acts as an insulator.
Which type of thermal energy transfer does a foil wrapping reduce the most?
Conduction (Apex)
