Heat transfer by convection can be minimized in a vacuum flask because there is no air (or fluid) inside to carry heat through convection currents. The vacuum creates a barrier that reduces heat transfer by convection, as there is no medium for the heat to move through. This helps to keep the contents of the vacuum flask at their original temperature for a longer period of time.
What else can I help you with?
Explain why conduction and convection cannot take place in an airless vacuum like in outer space?
Conduction and convection require the presence of a medium (such as air or water) for the transfer of heat. In a vacuum, there is no medium to transfer heat, so conduction and convection cannot occur. Heat in a vacuum can only be transferred through radiation.
Why does convection not happen in a vacuum?
Convection requires a medium, such as a gas or liquid, to transfer heat through the motion of the medium itself. In a vacuum, there is no medium to carry the heat, so convection cannot occur. Heat transfer in a vacuum primarily occurs through radiation.
What can't you get conduction or convection in?
Conduction and convection cannot occur in a vacuum because they both rely on the movement of matter to transfer heat. In a vacuum, there is no medium for heat to be transferred through conduction or convection. Radiation is the primary mode of heat transfer in a vacuum.
What is the only way to transfer heat in a vacuum?
The only way to transfer heat in a vacuum is through radiation. Heat transfer by convection and conduction require a medium, such as air or a solid, to transfer energy. In a vacuum, radiation is the only method by which heat can move.
What types of heat transfer will the vacuum layer between the two bottles reduce why?
The vacuum layer between two bottles will reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection. These methods of heat transfer require a medium for the transfer to occur, which is absent in a vacuum. Radiation, however, can still occur through the vacuum layer, but at a much slower rate compared to conduction and convection.

Why is there no heat transfer by convection or conduction through a vacuum?
Conduction needs a conducting medium. Convection needs something to convect. Neither exists in a vacuum.
What is the only way to transfer heat in a vacuum?
The only way to transfer heat in a vacuum is through radiation. Heat transfer by convection and conduction require a medium, such as air or a solid, to transfer energy. In a vacuum, radiation is the only method by which heat can move.
Which form of heat transfer is reduced by the use of vacuum inside a vacuum flask?
The vacuum reduces both conduction and convection.
What types of heat transfer will the vacuum layer between the two bottles reduce why?
The vacuum layer between two bottles will reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection. These methods of heat transfer require a medium for the transfer to occur, which is absent in a vacuum. Radiation, however, can still occur through the vacuum layer, but at a much slower rate compared to conduction and convection.
How do you make an effective thermos?
Make double skinned glass flask create vacuum betwen skins coat interior with reflective material and seal opening witha good insulator eg. cork you have now minimised heat transfer by conduction, radiation and convection
Is gas or a vacuum a better insulator?
A vacuum is a better insulator than gas because there are no particles in a vacuum to transfer heat through conduction or convection. Gas molecules can transfer heat through conduction and convection, making them less effective as insulators compared to a vacuum.
How can the structure of the vacuum flask minimise energy transfer by conduction convection and radiation?
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.
What are two examples of heat transfer?
Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
What similarity have convection and radiation?
Both convection and radiation are methods of transferring heat. They do not require a medium to transfer heat and can occur through vacuum.
