Answer:
The thermos flask consists of a double-walled glass vessel resting on a cork inside a metal or plastic case. ... The double-walled glass vessel and vacuum prevents heat loss by conduction. The insulating stopper or cork at the top minimizes heat loss by convection

Answer:
The answer lies in the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy - which, in a text, is defined as a disturbance - of a system is constantly increasing. For example, your bedroom has a tendency to become confused on time (unless you clean it daily, it will never stay clean). Now, when it comes to heat transfer, the proper definition of entropy is the energy distribution. In simple words, energy tends to propagate its environment. A hot cup of coffee, therefore, will spread its internal energy to its environment until it's cold (like a cool indoor note, this situation also says something important about quantum involvement and the role it can play in the event of time).
