Thermal energy flows from the flask with hot water to the flask with room temperature water.
This occurs because heat naturally transfers from a hotter area to a cooler area until thermal equilibrium is reached.
The picture below shows two flasks, one with hot water and one with room temperature water, which are connected by a conductive metal bar.
In which direction does the thermal energy between the flasks flow?
