An iron works by utilizing heat
temperature control transfer through conduction in
metal materials. In electric irons,
heat is generated by an electric
heating element when current flows
through it. This heat is then
conducted through the metal base
to the fabric. Modern irons are
equipped with a thermostat that
regulates temperature, ensuring
safe use and allowing adjustment
according to different types of
fabric.

A thermos is used to store hot water so that
its temperature can be maintained for a long
time. Instead of using a single material, the
thermos contains a vacuum layer, which
effectively minimizes heat transfer by
conduction and convection. The hot water is
stored in a glass container, while the outer
layer is made of metal to provide strength
and durability. The vacuum between the
glass container and the outer wall prevents
heat from escaping to the surroundings,
allowing the hot water to remain warm for a
longer period.
