What is another name for the vacuum flask?

  • Thermos

  • Cooler

  • Heater

  • Container

Answer

Thermos is another name for the vacuum flask, a device designed to maintain the temperature of its contents. It consists of two glass flasks, one inside the other, with a vacuum between them. This vacuum prevents heat transfer by conduction and convection, while a reflective coating on the inner flask minimizes heat loss by radiation. As a result, the contents of a thermos remain hot or cold for extended periods.
