What happens when a thermo flask contains some ice cubes?
The ice cubes will help to keep the contents of the thermos flask colder for a longer period of time. The thermos flask's insulation will prevent heat transfer from the surroundings, helping to maintain the temperature of the ice cubes and the contents of the flask. Over time, the ice cubes will melt and help to cool the contents of the flask.
Why does water inside a thermos flask gets cooled after few days?
The water inside a thermos flask may cool down over a few days due to heat transfer through the walls of the flask. Even though thermos flasks are designed to keep liquids hot or cold for an extended period, they are not perfectly insulated, so gradual heat transfer can occur. Additionally, external temperature changes or opening the flask can also contribute to the cooling of the water over time.
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.
What are creative uses for a thermos?
use it on camping to store eggs or perishables (thermos' keep thing cool too)
Can you leave a hot flask to cool?
Yes, you can.
If you cool a flask to -200degrise what would happen to the air?
I the flask was sealed, the air inside of the flask would take up less space and as a result, cause a drop in pressure inside the flask.
What is the best way to keep a thermos hot or cool?
To keep a thermos hot, pre-heat the thermos with boiling water before adding the hot liquid. For cold beverages, pre-chill the thermos with cold water or ice cubes. Keep the lid tightly closed to maintain the temperature inside.

Thermos bottles are used to keep liquid what?
Thermos bottles are generally used to keep liquid from changing temperature for a longer period of time. Usually, one pours hot liquid into the bottle, and it will remain warm for longer, but they are also effective at keeping cold liquid cool.
Why vacuum flask keep cold liquids cool better than hot liquids warm?
It is due to heat transfer by radiation. You must first understand all objects emit some radiation, even room temperature items, but hotter items release greater radiation. With a hot liquid, the vacuum flask is releasing heat via radiation (radiant heat) outwards into the surroundings, the surroundings mostly absorb this radiant heat, therefore the radiant heat is constantly lost to the surroundings. However, with a cold liquid the radiant heat is transferred from the surroundings to the vacuum flask, where the vacuum flask is a relatively small "target" for the radiant heat to strike. Therefore the cold liquid only receives a small amount of radiant heat from the surroundings and thus changes temperature more slowly. Think of it this way: The surroundings is a very very large "target" for the heat released from the thermos to strike, while the thermos is a relatively tiny target for the heat from the surroundings to strike, thus it is easier for the thermos to lose heat than it is to absorb heat from the surroundings.
Can thermos flasks keep cool things cold?
Yes, thermos flasks are designed to keep liquids cold by insulating them from the surrounding temperature. They typically have a vacuum-sealed layer that prevents heat transfer, helping to maintain the cold temperature of the liquid inside.
