SUMMARY
A thermo flask operates by creating a vacuum between its outer and inner walls, which prevents heat transfer. The air pressure outside the flask exerts force on the outer wall, but the structural integrity of the walls is sufficient to withstand this pressure without bending. This design effectively maintains the temperature of the contents inside the flask, demonstrating the principles of thermodynamics and material strength.
