How does a thermos flask work to keep a cold liquid cool?

A thermos is able to do what it does by using a several of physical and material properties to keep our hot chocolate hot and our ice tea icy. A thermos has an inner container made of glass. This container is really like one bottle inside of anouther bottle and sealed at the ends by melting the edges together.

The air is removed out from the space between the two bottles to produce a vacuum, which is not a good conductor of heat and does a good job at slowing down the movement of heat. To slow down the other heat they coat the facing surfaces of the glass bottles with a silvery coating (like a mirror). This reflects the heat and helps slow down any losses that might get that way.

They use a material like cork or rubber to make the bottle stopper and anything else that might touch the outside surface of the glass container. These materials are bad conductors of heat and slow down the heat loss. Whats left is what we can see on the outside which can be metal or plastic and is the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
