No, a cracked inner vessel in a vacuum flask would compromise its ability to maintain temperature. The vacuum is essential for insulation, and a crack would allow heat to escape or enter the flask, reducing its effectiveness in keeping contents hot or cold. It's best to replace the flask if the inner vessel is cracked.
The maximum vacuum that can be generated is 760 mmHg (atmospheric pressure) because at this point, the pressure inside the vessel is equal to the pressure outside the vessel, resulting in a balance. Attempting to generate a vacuum greater than 760 mmHg would create a negative pressure differential, causing air from outside to rush in and equalize the pressure inside the vessel.
The inside of a thermos flask usually consists of a double-walled vessel with a vacuum or insulating material between the walls. This design helps to minimize heat transfer, keeping liquids hot or cold for an extended period of time. The interior walls are typically made of stainless steel or glass for durability and ease of cleaning.
When dry steam enters a wet steam filled vessel, it can cause the wet steam to condense as the dry steam releases its latent heat energy to the surrounding wet steam. This condensation increases the moisture content in the vessel and may lead to water accumulation.
Vacuum (absence of matter) is an excellent insulator because matter is the vehicle that carries heat from one place to another. A vacuum flask contains a vacuum-sealed space between the outer and inner walls of the vessel. Without a vehicle, the heat cannot easily be transferred across the gap between the two walls.
The compass needle is kept in a closed glass vessel to prevent any interference from external magnetic fields, which could disrupt its accurate alignment with the Earth's magnetic field. Keeping the needle enclosed helps maintain its sensitivity and stability, ensuring that it always points towards the magnetic north.
No, if the inner vessel of a vacuum flask is cracked, the vacuum seal will be compromised and the flask will not be able to maintain the same level of heat retention for its contents. The cracked vessel will allow heat to escape more easily, reducing the effectiveness of the insulation. It would be best to replace the flask to ensure proper heat retention.
If the vacuum pump is on, the water will continue to boil. If the vacuum pump is off as the vessel is sealed, the boiling will stop at a point of equilibrium.
