What is the insulator in a coffee thermos?
It depends on the type and brand. Some variants use an insulating material, but the best-quality ones do not, they use a Dewar flask which is a silvered double-walled glass flask with nothing (literally nothing, a vacuum) between the walls.
What are the single and double touch methods for magnetizing an un magnetized magnetic material?

Are double bonds between elements longer or shorter?
Double bonds between elements are almost always shorter than single bonds between the same two kinds of atoms, when such bonds exist.
What is the cell structure made up of a double layer of fat material?
The cell membrane, or phospholipid bylayer.
How do helicases unwind a double helix?
Helicase uses free energy from ATP to break the hydrogen bonds between the double helix of the DNA. It breaks the bonds between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine. This unzips the double helix structure.
Single or double door in refrigerators. Which is best?
Double door is the best.
How double glazing is a good insulator?
The big insulating value of double glazing has to do with the space between the two panes of glass. If it's filled with air, that's good, because air is a poor conductor of heat. For even greater insulating value, the space between the panes can be filled with argon gas instead of air. Argon is an even worse conductor of heat than air is.
What is argon used for everyday life?
As an insulating gas (eg in double glazing).
How is air an insulating material?
== == Anyhow -- simple answer: air is an insulating material when compared to other, solid materials. When we talk about insulation we're talking about slowing the transfer of energy from one place to another. Air insulates because it is less dense than, say, wood or glass -- so a double-paned window insulates better than a single paned one because the air space between slows the transfer of energy (heat) from one side to the other. Vacuum is a better insulator than air, though. And there are other, more complex factors than simple density when it comes to describing the insulating properties of solids.
Is Double Glazing a good insulator?
Yes, a double glazed window - two panes of glass with an airspace between them - will provide considerably higher insulating value than a single pane of glass. For even greater insulating value, the space between the panes can be filled with argon gas instead of air. Argon-filled windows, often called Low E windows will generally be more costly than regular air-filled windows. Ray
Explain why a double-pane window prevents more energy from escaping your house than a single-pane window?
The pocket of air between the two panes serve as an additional insulating layer.
How do Double-glazed windows Work?
the answer to how 'double-glaze windows work':,DOUBLE GLAZING works by trapping air between two panes of glass. This creates an insulating barrier. The benefits of this insulating barrier arePrevention of heat loss through windowsIt will help to Keep noise pollution downIt will help to reduce condensationBy making your home more energy efficient you will save money. By installing double glazing you will cut the heat lost through your windows by half and can save from £80 to £100 per year on your heating bills.
What type of cup hold temperature longest?
A cup fabricated from a heat-insulating material, with a closed top to prevent heat flow from the contents to the surrounding air. Examples: Metal . . . bad Foam Ceramic Double wall with air or vacuum space . . . good
Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?
Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.
What is the Difference between single door and double door refrigerators?
Single compressors are used for both the freezer and refrigerator. Normally they pump cool air into the freezer and then into the refrigerator portion. This causes problems usually when your loading groceries and both doors are open. This causes moist air from the freezer to be pumped into the refrigerator at high rates. This can cause freezer burn to happen more quickly and can cause the refrigerator side to pick up too much moisture causing spoilage. Now a double compressor is just what it sounds like, one compressor for each compartment. They work less and much more efficiently to keep the proper temperatures and moisture levels.
Where are you use double shoe brake?
A double action brake shoe comprising a shoe, a lining and an oscillator material as main components which function respectively as a reinforcing body of the brake shoe, a brake material and as a generator of certain vibration frequency when the shoe is applied to a hub. The lining is attached on the surface of the brake shoe and oscillator material is inserted between the shoe and the lining.
What is the difference between a long splice and a short splice?
A short splice will nearly double the diameter of the material, but will be shorter in length and not as strong as a long splice.
