It uses as vacuum to insulate the inside from the outside. The vacuum reduces the different ways heat can be dissipated; mainly conduction and convection. Very importantly, a Thermos bottle, scientifically called a "Dewar's flask," incorporates a radiant barrier that directs radiant heat back into the hot liquid in the bottle. You can usually see the radiant barrier when the flask incorporates a glass liner, the barrier is the shiny material across the vacuum from the glass. The three ways heat can move are conduction, (through a solid), convection, (through a gas or liquid), and radiation, (through a gas or vacuum). The Dewar's flask addresses all three of the means of heat transfer, that is why it is so efficient.

that is true trust me

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.


What is the function of lid lock in thermos bottle?

The lid lock in a thermos bottle helps to securely seal the bottle to prevent leaks and maintain the temperature of the contents. It also helps to prevent accidental spills and keeps the lid from opening unexpectedly.


Where and how does most heat loss occur in a thermos bottle?

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.

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.
