Conduction and convection are reduced by the vacuum between the two glass layers.Radiation is reduced by the mirror plating.
The vacuum between the two walls of a thermos flask acts as an insulator by preventing the transfer of heat through conduction and convection. It reduces heat transfer because there are no molecules in the vacuum to carry heat energy from one side to the other.
A vacuum flask reduces heat transfer by creating a vacuum between two layers of insulated material, which minimizes conduction and convection. Additionally, the reflective lining inside the flask helps to reduce radiation heat transfer. This combination of insulated layers and reflective lining helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside the flask for a longer period of time.
A vacuum is maintained in a thermos flask in order to prevent heat transfer by conduction and convection. The absence of air molecules in the vacuum reduces the amount of heat that can be transferred through these processes, helping to keep the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods of time.
A vacuum flask keeps things cold by using a vacuum layer between the inner and outer walls of the flask to reduce heat transfer through conduction and convection. This prevents outside heat from reaching the contents inside, helping to maintain their temperature for a longer period of time.
Heat is transferred away from a vacuum flask through a process called radiation, where thermal energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves. The vacuum between the flask walls prevents heat transfer by conduction or convection, so radiation is the primary mechanism for heat loss.

Silvering in a vacuum flask involves coating the inner surface of the flask with a reflective layer of silver to minimize heat radiation and enhance thermal insulation. This silvering process helps to reduce heat transfer between the contents of the flask and the surrounding environment, improving its ability to maintain the temperature of hot or cold liquids for longer periods.

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.
A thermos flask minimizes energy losses from convection by using a vacuum-sealed layer between the inner and outer walls. This creates a barrier that prevents heat transfer through the movement of air molecules, as there is no medium for convection to occur in a vacuum. Additionally, the walls of the thermos are typically made of materials with low thermal conductivity to further reduce heat loss through convection.
The vacuum layer between the inner and outer walls of the flask prevents conduction of heat as there are no particles or molecules to transfer heat. The reflective surface coating on the inner wall of the flask helps to minimize heat transfer by reflecting heat back towards the liquid inside the flask.
A vacuum flask is a type of flask that aims to stop all three forms of heat transfer. Conduction, convection and radiation. A vacuum flask prevents conduction by making a vacuum between the inside and the outside layer of the flask, so that the only solids that touch are the lid and the main body of the flask. This means the amount of conduction that occurs is minimised. One major drawback though, is when the hot water transfers heat with the cold air inside the flask, then the hot air transfers heat with the cold lid, and then on the likely chance that the lid is hotter than the surroundings, the lid transfers heat with the air molecules around it. This means that a considerable amount of heat is lost to the surroundings. The only way convection can occur is by the hot liquid or solid transferring heat with the trapped air inside the flask, although this only affects the temperature of the water by a bit, because most of the liquid condenses again. The flask is made so that radiation is reflected back of the sides, which is made of a shiny material. Also, the flask is not transparent; it is made of an opaque material, usually plastic or metal. The only way radiation can escape, is by the lid being taken off.
The structure of a vacuum flask minimizes energy transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation by having a double-walled design with a vacuum layer between the walls. This vacuum layer acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer through conduction and convection. Additionally, the reflective surface on the inner wall minimizes radiation heat transfer.
