← ScienceWhich mechanism causes heat transfer reduction when cryogenic liquid fills a vacuum-insulated dewar?
A)Suppressed convection from vacuum insulation✓
B)Decreased radiation emission from cold surfaces
C)Enhanced conduction through residual gas
D)Increased phase change energy absorption
💡 Explanation
When cryogenic liquid fills a dewar, effective vacuum insulation suppresses convection heat transfer because there is extremely little matter for heat transfer. Therefore convection is reduced, rather than reduced radiation, enhanced conduction, or phase change increase, which contradict standard heat transfer laws under vacuum.
