How can you save thermal energy?

There is no way to save thermal energy in the long term; heat tends to escape. You can reduce the losses by some isolation measures, as those used in a thermos bottle.There is no way to save thermal energy in the long term; heat tends to escape.

An example of quasi static process?

Quasi static process - doesn't really exist except in theory. It is a thermodynamic process going infinitely slow. The best example is if you had air at 1C inside a cryogenic thermos and you had add outside the thermos at 1.00000000000001C. The point is is the air inside the thermos would eventually warm up to the slightly warmer air outside the container, but it would take a long long time.


Does a capped empty plastic water float or not?

Yes, a capped, empty, plastic water bottle will almost always float in water. This is because the density of plastic water bottles (the 12- or 20-oz kind) is very low compared to water itself. As long as it is empty and capped, no water will enter the bottle while it is tipped over in the liquid, and so it will not be weighed down by the addition of any liquid.

How is convection prevented in thermos flask?

A glass thermos 'bottle' is constructed as a bottle-within-a-bottle and there is a slight vacuum between the bottles, since heat can't travel within a vacuum it will keep the contents hot/cold for a long time. In addition, they usually have a mirror coating on the outside to reflect hot/cold from the environment. The cap usually is hollow with an insulating material like cork or poly-foam.
