A Dewar flask is a vessel designed to provide very good thermal insulation.

For instance,
when filled with a hot liquid, the vessel will not allow the heat to easily escape, and the liquid
will stay hot for far longer than in a typical container. The Dewar flask was named after its
inventor, the Scottish physicist Sir James Dewar (1842–1923).

In form, a Dewar flask is a glass or metal bottle, with a double-layer construction; in fact, it
can be considered to be two thin-walled bottles nested one inside the other, and sealed
together at the neck. The narrow space between is evacuated almost entirely of air; the near
vacuum minimizes conduction and convection of heat.

The inner surfaces of the outer bottle, and the outer surface of the inner bottle, have a metallic
or similar reflective coating to prevent heat from being transmitted via radiation. Dewar
himself used silver for this purpose. This is so effective that what little heat transport does
occur is almost entirely via the neck and stopper; insulating materials such as cork are often
used for the stopper.

A very common use of the Dewar flask in laboratories is the storage of liquid nitrogen; in this
case, the leakage of heat into the extremely cold interior of the bottle results in a slow
"boiling-off" of the liquid (a pressure relief valve is provided to prevent pressure from
building up). The excellent insulation of the Dewar flask results in a very slow "boil" and
thus the nitrogen lasts a long time without the need for expensive refrigeration equipment.

A Thermos bottle (trademarked), or vacuum flask (generic) used to keep coffee or other
beverages hot, is usually based on the design of a Dewar flask; since glass dewar flasks are
fragile and somewhat expensive to fabricate, other constructions based on plastic or insulated
metal are also popular.

7. How is works

Dewar flasks consist of two metal or glass bowls separated by a vacuum. 

Because heat isn't transferred very well through a vacuum, they can keep
things cold for a very long time.
