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.
What Are Some Objects That Minimize Heat Transfer?
The vacuum flask otherwise known as a thermos flask
The presence of -------------- in a thermos flask keeps the substances either hot or cold?
A vacuum is the answer.
How do you spell thermus?
The spelling is "thermos" (still a trademark name Thermos), a vacuum-insulated flask.
Who create a thermos?
This is from wikipedia:The vacuum flask was invented by Scottish physicist and chemist Sir James Dewar in 1892 and is sometimes referred to as a Dewar flask after its inventor. The first vacuum flasks for commercial use were made in 1904 when a German company, Thermos GmbH, was formed. Thermos, their trademark for their flasks, remains a registered trademark in some countries but was declared a genericized trademark in the U.S. in 1963 as it is colloquially synonymous with vacuum flasks in general.
Who invented the thermos flask?
Ben hubberd Ben hubbardSir James Dewar invented the vacuum flask.
Why your vacuum flask cannot maintain the cold anymore?
There could be a crack or leakage that allows air to flow in or out of the flask. It may be time to replace the flask with a new one.
How thermos flask prevent loss or gain of heat by?
A vacuum makes a good heat insulator.
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.
Why does the hot tea in a Thermos flask remain hot for a long time?
The Thermos (vacuum) flask has a double skinned glass cylinder inside. Between the two walls of the glass cylinder is a vacuum. The glass cylinder is also silvered on all inner and outer surfaces. Both the vacuum and the silvering help to prevent the rapid cooling of a hot liquid, or the warming of a cold liquid. The vacuum inhibits heat transfer by conduction. The silvering reflects the heat and inhibits the heat escaping from the flask. Thermos (often used for a vacuum flask) is a trade-name.Eventually, as anyone who uses a vacuum flask, the once hot drink will have become cool by the end of the day.
