A thermos flask is used to keep hot ( or cold drinks)
stopper Shiny inner lining Vacuum Plastic/cork
Stopper It prevents heat loss by convection. Hot air particles will be trapped inside » back back
Shiny inner lining It prevents heat loss by radiation. It reflects heat inside the flask and prevents it from leaving. back
Vacuum It reduces heat loss by conduction. No particles will be present to carry heat. back
Plastic/cork It prevents heat loss by conduction. Plastic and cork are insulators back
