Thermos® bottle

Radiant heat transfer had historically been the biggest heat transfer mechanism for windows. Low-e materials were developed and have historically been used to control for heat transfer. An example of the popularity of using metals to reflect heat to control for radiant heat transfer is the thermos bottle. Applying that new technology to windows, and getting materials that normally would affect transparency of the product to remain visually neutral, was a huge advance to the industry. 

Identify the following systems as open, closed, or isolated (a) coffee in a very high quality thermos bottle (b) coolant in a refrigerator coil (c) a bomb calorimeter in which benzene is burned (d) gasoline burning in an automobile engine ...

Three 300-cc. gas-washing cylinders (Note 1) are connected in series, and the second and third cylinders are charged with 150 cc. each of dry acetone. Each of the three cylinders is immersed, in a thermos bottle, in sufficient Dry Ice-acetone cooling mixture to cover half of the cylinder. Ketene gas, prepared by the pyrolysis of acetone (Note 2), is passed through the system (Note 3) until a quantity of 2 moles has been introduced. This...

PK has been demonstrated on microscopic objects. Temperature is an effect of molecular movement in solids. Gertrude Schmeidler [111] reported a successful experiment in which the well-known psychic Ingo Swann concentrated on thermistors (electronic devices for sensing temperature). They were sealed in thermos bottles to insulate them, but Swann successfully changed their temperature. The effect known as psychic photography, best studied in recent years in Jule Eisenbud s in-... 

Dewars. Dewars are the best and most commonly used cryogenic containers in the laboratory. Their ability to maintain a temperature is exceptional. They are used in most labs where dry ice is found and in all labs where liquid nitrogen is found. Dewars are also found in many lunch boxes as Thermos bottles. Dewars are typically identifiable as a hollow-wall glass container with a mirror-like finish. That mirror finish is a very accurate description because the silver coating on Dewars is the same as is used on mirrors. 

The containers used for transporting and storing the majority of cryogenic liquids are insulated cryogenic tankers, liquid cylinders, and stationary storage tanks. These containers are similar in design to a Thermos bottle. There is an inner vessel, which contains the cryogenic product, and an outer vessel. The space between the two vessels is under a vacuum and usually contains a wrapped insulation material such as aluminized Mylar, or it may contain a powdered insulation such as expanded perlite. The liquid cylinders, usually 160-250 L in capacity, are constructed to a... 

We are nonnally interested in how long it takes for the hoi coffee in a thermos bottle to cool to a certain temperahire, which cannot be determined from a thermodynamic analysis alone. 

In practice we arc more concerned about the rate of heat transfer (heat transfer per unit lime) than we arc with the amount of it. For example, we can determine the amount of heat transfened from a thermos bottle as the hot coffee inside cools from 90 C to 8()°C by a tliermodynamic analysis alone. But a typical user or designer of a thermos bottle is primarily interested in how long it will be before the hot coffee inside cools to 80 C, and a thermodynamic analysis cannot answer this question. Determining the rales of heat transfer to or from a system and thus the times of heating or cooling, as well as the variation of the temperature, is the subject of heat transfer (Fig. 1-1). 

Dewar flasks (thermos bottles) are often found in the laboratory without shielding. They should be wrapped with friction tape or covered with plastic net to prevent the glass from flying about in case of an implosion (Fig. 9). Similarly, vacuum desiccators should be wrapped with tape before being evacuated. 

Figure 4.2. Schematic representation of closed (a, b), open (c) and isolated (d) systems. In system (a) a volatile substance can be exchanged between water and the gas phase. The total quantity of matter within the system remains constant. In system (b) the water phase is closed toward the gas phase no exchange with the gas phase occurs H2CO or NH3 are treated as nonvolatile species. In the open system (c) exchange of matter with the environment occurs for example, a water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is characterized by a constant partial pressure of COaCPco )- System (d) represents an isolated system. No exchange of matter and energy occurs with the environment. (Metaphorically, the system is like a thermos bottle.)...

A thermos bottle (Dewar vessel) has an evacuated space between its inner and outer walls to diminish the rate of transfer of thermal energy to or from the bottle s contents. For good insulation, the mean free path of the residual gas (air average molecular mass = 29) should be at least 10 times the distance between the inner and outer walls, which is about 1.0 cm. What should be the maximum residual gas pressure in the evacuated space if T = 300 K Take an average diameter of d = 3.1 X 10 °m for the molecules in the air. 

As you have seen, reactions can release or absorb energy of several kinds, including electricity, light, sound, and heat. When heat energy is gained or lost in reactions, special terms are used. Endothermic (en dob THUR mihk) reactions absorb heat energy. Exothermic (ek soh THUR mihk) reactions release heat energy. You may notice that the root word therm refers to heat, as it does in thermos bottles and thermometers. 

Anhydrous hydrazine can be obtained from hydrazine salts by various procedures. The most simplified involves the use of liquid ammonia and two thermos bottles, under a fume hood. 

If matter is not able to pass across the boundary, then the system is said to be closed otherwise, it is open. A closed system may still exchange energy with the surroundings unless the system is an isolated one, in which case neither matter nor energy can pass across the boundary. The tea in a closed Thermos bottle approximates a closed system over a short time interval.

Here, we utilize this result to demonstrate an important practical fact associated with thermos bottles. 

The sides of the two walls facing each other are silvered (Fig. 92). The emissivity of silver3 is = 0.02. The thermos bottle contains hot coffee at temperature T — 90 °C, and the ambient is at a temperature T% = 5 °C. We wish to determine the heat loss from a thermos bottle. 

These are "Thermos" bottles made out of heavier glass than your coffee Thermos and are evacuated to about 10 atmospheres. Household type vacuum bottles should not be used around vacuum lines, because the temperature differences encountered are sufficient to cause most to crack in a short while. The common cooling material is dry ice, and the cooling solvents are isopropanol (-89.5 °C) and acetone (-94 C), isopropanol being preferred because it is not as combustible and is less likely to dissolve the synthetic materials from which clothes are frequently made.
