Why do thermos flask bottles advertise 24hrs cold and 12hrs hot. Shouldn’t it be the same amount of time for temps in both directions?
In: 1049
The rate at which heat flows is portional to temperature difference. This matters because if you measure the ambient temperature you keep the thermos in you will likely discover it is much much closer to the cold contents temperature than the hot contents temperature. The larger temperature gap means heat transfer is faster.
