    The document discusses ways to minimize heat transfer to keep food hot for longer periods of time. It explains that a thermos flask uses vacuum insulation between its walls to prevent heat transfer through conduction. Its air tight lid prevents convection, and its silver coating prevents radiation. Minimizing heat transfer in daily life, like keeping refrigerator doors closed, helps conserve energy by reducing the need to reheat food or cool rooms.

    MINIMIZING HEAT

    TRANSFER
    Flow of Heat
    Block 17, Lesson 4
    What can you do to keep food hot for a longer period of time?
    Can we keep food hot forever?

    • We can use a food casserole to


    keep it hot for a longer period of
    time.

    • We cannot keep the food hot


    forever as we cannot stop the
    transfer of heat.

    • However, a casserole can


    minimize the transfer of heat.
    AIM:
    Today, we will be able to
    explain ways in which
    heat transfer is
    minimized in daily life
    situations.
    Resources Needed
    XSEED Content Book, Worksheet 4,

    Keywords we will use:

    vacuum, casting
    Look at the picture of the 2 drinking bottles.
    Water will stay hot longer in which drinking bottle - the plastic bottle or the
    thermos flask?
    Look at Fig.8 of a thermos flask in the XSEED Content Book, p.23.
    In your Science notebook, write how each part of the flask helps in minimizing the loss of
    heat from the thermos flask and keeping the water hot longer.
    How do the different parts of a thermos flask prevent heat transfer?

    • A thermos flask has an air tight lid


    called stopper which prevents heat
    transfer through convection.

    • The vacuum between the walls of


    the flask prevents heat transfer
    through conduction.

    • And the inner silver coating which


    prevents heat transfer through
    radiation.
    How do we minimize heat loss in some other situations in our daily life?

    • In day-to-day life, we need to minimize heat transfer in


    many situations.

    • For example –
    -We should not keep the door of the
    refrigerator open for long to
    minimize heat transfer.

    -While sitting in an air-conditioned


    car or room, we need to minimize
    heat entering the room or car to
    keep cool by keeping doors and
    windows closed or drawing curtains
    or window shields.
    Why do we need to minimize the transfer of heat around us?

    • We need to minimize the transfer


    of heat to conserve energy and
    save fuel.

    • For example, if we keep food in


    the casserole, we do not need to
    reheat it before eating.

    • This saves cooking fuel or


    electricity.
