Conduction in a thermos is minimized through the use of insulating materials, such as a vacuum-sealed double-wall design or a layer of foam. These materials slow down the transfer of heat through the walls of the thermos, keeping the contents hot or cold for longer periods of time by reducing heat flow from the surroundings into the container.
Most heat loss in a thermos bottle occurs through conduction and radiation. Conduction happens through the walls of the thermos, which can be reduced by using materials with low thermal conductivity. Radiation occurs through the opening of the thermos, so keeping it sealed tightly minimizes this type of heat loss.
There are many ways this is done. It can be done by having a double walled thermos with either air, an insulator, or a vacuum between. A vacuum will prevent all conduction except where the two walls touch but requires stronger materials.
Conduction in a thermos flask is minimized through the use of a vacuum layer between two walls of the flask. This vacuum layer prevents heat transfer by conduction, as there are no molecules present to transfer the heat. This helps to keep the contents of the flask hot or cold for an extended period of time.
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.
d) All of the above. Thermos flasks are insulated to prevent heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation, keeping the contents either hot or cold for an extended period.

Conduction: heat transfer through direct contact between the liquid and the thermos. Convection: heat transfer as the liquid circulates within the thermos. Radiation: heat transfer through electromagnetic waves between the liquid and the walls of the thermos.
Lunch & a thermos.
A thermos flask minimizes heat transfer through conduction by having a vacuum insulated wall, which reduces heat loss. Additionally, the inner surface of the flask is reflective to prevent radiant heat loss. The space between the inner and outer walls of the thermos flask also prevents convective heat transfer by eliminating air movement.
A thermos bottle (Actually a thermos container, which has a wider lid) will work.
A thermos keeps your soup hot by using a double-wall vacuum insulation layer, which prevents heat transfer via conduction, convection, and radiation. This insulation layer traps the heat inside the thermos, keeping the soup hot for an extended period of time.
Vacuum insulation is a feature of a thermos that does not limit heat flow. By creating a vacuum between the inner and outer walls of the thermos, heat transfer through conduction and convection is minimized, allowing liquids to maintain their temperature for longer periods.
