The rate of heat flow across a boundary such as the vacuum between the inside of the thermos flask and the ambient atmosphere is proportional to the temperature difference. So if you have hot water inside at say 90 C and an ambient of 30 C that is a difference of 60 C, whilst if you have cold water inside at 10 C the difference is 20 C. The heat flow will therefore be three times as much for the hot water as for the cold water, so the rate of change of temperature will be three times greater.

Why sides of thermos bottle are silvered?
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.
Does it take longer for water to cool or heat up?
It takes longer to cool off, but mostly depending on the temperature.
Does the dial on the thermos water bottle control the lid speed?
YES
How might you keep the water warm longer after you remove it from sunlight?
To keep water warm longer after removing it from sunlight, you can insulate the container by wrapping it in materials like towels or blankets, which help retain heat. Additionally, using a thermos or insulated bottle will minimize heat loss. Placing the container on a warm surface, such as a heating pad or a warm towel, can also help maintain the temperature. Lastly, minimizing exposure to cold air by covering the container can further reduce heat loss.
What controls the daily temperature range?
The amount of water vapor in the air affects the temperature of the air. Mainly the temperature range depends on the tilt of the Earth away from or towards the sun and also on the altitude of the land. Temperature is affected by the wind, how close one is to a large body of water. Being close to the sea or a lake tends to keep the temperature more even, less cold and less hot.
Creative use for a thermos?
a place to store water in, that keeps it at the temperature you want it at
How long will a thermos keep water cold?
A high-quality thermos can keep water cold for 24-36 hours, depending on the initial temperature of the water and the surrounding conditions. It is important to pre-chill the thermos before using it for maximum efficiency.
How long does a thermos keep something hot?
For whatever length of time the thermos maintains a food temperature above 135°F, plus an hour or maybe two. You will need to test the temperature-holding capabilities yourself, since that can vary with the type of food, starting heat and the ambient conditions. And you'll need a thermometer to do it. Pre-heating the thermos with hot water should prolong the appropriate holding time. The danger range for food safety is 40-140 F in between that range bacteria will grow.
How do you heat a thermos?
Fill the thermos with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes to warm up the interior. After that, pour out the hot water and immediately fill the thermos with your desired hot liquid, such as soup or coffee. This will help to keep your beverage hotter for longer.
Which one would keep water warmer for a longer amount of time a glass jar or thermos?
put it in a freezer
How might you keep the water warm longer after you remove it from the sunlight?
You can insulate the container with a towel or place it in a thermos to keep the water warm longer after removing it from sunlight. Additionally, using a lid or covering the container will help retain the heat. Finally, placing the container in a warm spot indoors can also help maintain the water temperature.
Can a thermos flask keep cold water cold?
Yes, a thermos flask can keep cold water cold for several hours due to its insulated design that helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside. It is more effective at keeping beverages hot, but it can also help to preserve the cold temperature of water for a decent amount of time.
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.
Do thermos cup or styrofoam cup keep water hotter?
thermos cup
How do you use the word thermos in a sentence?
my thermos was full with ice cold water.
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.
What is the thermo flask?
Thermos flask is a thermos container used to store liquids like any hot drink. The liquid added to thermos flask will retain the temperature even after some time irrespective of external temperatures.
