Read the following passage about thermal flasks and answer the questions thet follow ‘Working principles of thermal flasks | ‘Thermal flasks are used to store hot liquids and can keep them warm for @ period of time, Insulating by foam and insulating by vacuum are two common ways of making thermal flasks For a thermal flask applying insulation by foam, a layer of foam is used to wrap the container (see Figure 4). Both the foam and the air trapped inside the foam are poor conductors of heat. Also, the air inside the foam is broken into many tiny bubbles, which reduce convection of air inside the foam. Heat transfer through foam is therefore pretty slow. For a thermal flask applying insulation by vacuum, there is a vacuum between the double glass walls of the container (see Figure 5). The heat insulation of vacuum is better than that of foam. Furthermore, the iimer surface of walls of the glass container is painted silvery to reduce heat transfer. As glass is fragile, the glass container is protected by an outer case with an insulated support | stopper stopper double-wall silvered glass vacuum hot liquid insulated support Figure 4 Figure § 2007-ce-PHY 1-6 54 Page total Please stick the barcode label here. a) Explain how the foam reduces heat transfer by conduction and convection.
