Use of silvering the walls of Thermos flask
- The double-walled vacuum bottle of a thermos flask is silvered on its inner walls to retain the heat inside.
- heat radiated is reflected by the silver walls to the inside of the vacuum bottle.
- The outer and inner walls have vacuum in between them which prevents heat transfer to outside either through conduction or convection.
- The shiny silvery surface prevents any gain or loss of heat through radiation.
- The action of silvery walls in a flask is similar to that of a space blanket.
