Silver is a great heat and light reflector. That means if you store cold water in a thermos, the heat from outside cannot get into the thermos easily because the heat is reflected by the silver color of the thermos.

Why is the inner of the thermos bottle is silvered?

The inner lining of a thermos bottle is typically silvered to minimize heat transfer by reflecting thermal radiation. The reflective silver coating helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside the bottle by reducing heat loss or gain through radiation.

Why does a thermos flask have silvered glass and a vacuum?

A thermos flask has silvered glass to reduce heat transfer through radiation. The vacuum insulation minimizes heat transfer through conduction and convection, keeping the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods by preventing heat exchange with the surroundings.

How and where does the most heat loss occur in a thermos bottle?

The most heat loss in a thermos bottle occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation. It mainly happens at the opening of the thermos bottle where there is direct contact with the surrounding environment, as well as through the materials used in the construction of the bottle that are not efficient insulators.

What is the predominant energy transfer that occurs in the thermos bottle?

Conduction is the predominant energy transfer that occurs in a thermos bottle. The vacuum insulation in a thermos bottle prevents heat transfer through convection and radiation, so most of the heat transfer happens through conduction between the inner and outer layers of the bottle.


What is the capacity of a thermos?

The capacity of a typical thermos bottle ranges from 16 to 40 ounces. However, larger thermos containers can hold up to 64 ounces or more.
