In the modern world, economics of a product is of prime importance and so is the quality. The cost of a product depends on various factors such as process undergone, material, time taken for the completion of the product. The current model of thermos flask is analysed in terms of efficiency and cost; the authors propose a new model which is both cost effective and of good quality. This new model proposes a new low price insulating flask in the market. For this, aerogel blanket is used as insulating medium instead of vacuum, resulting in better insulation for a longer period, at an affordable price.
