Lower flammabilitylimit LFL , usually expressed in volume per cent, is the lower end of the concentration range of a flammable solvent at a given temperature and pressure for which air vapor mixtures can ignite. The flammability range is delineated by the upper and lower flammabilitylimit. Outside this range of air vapor mixtures, the mixture will not ignite unless heated . The LFL decreases with increasing temperature thus, a mixture that is below its LFL at a given temperature may ignite if heated sufficiently. The LFL is typically close to the saturated vapor concentration at the flash point , however, due to differences in technique between measuring LFL and the various flash points open closed cup as well as different apparatus some spread in the data usually exists.

Orphan date November 2011 In mathematics approximate limits are a generalization of the ordinary limit of a function limit for real valued functions of several real variables. A function f on math mathbb R k math has an approximate limit y at a point x if there exists a set F that has Lebesgue density theorem density one at the point such that if x sub n sub is a sequence in F that converges towards x then f x sub n sub converges towards y . Properties The approximate limit of a function, if it exists, is unique. If f has an ordinary limit at x then it also has an approximate limit with the same value. We denote the approximate limit of f at x sub 0 sub by math lim limits x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 . math Many of the properties of the ordinary limit are also true for the approximate limit. Thus if a is a scalar and f and g are functions the following equations are true if values on the right hand side are well defined that is the approximate limits exist and in the last equation the approximate limit of g is non zero. math begin align lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap a cdot f x 0 & a cdot lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 g x 0 & lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap g x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 g x 0 & lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap g x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 cdot g x 0 & lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 cdot lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap g x 0 lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 g x 0 & lim x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 lim limits x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap g x 0 end align math Approximate continuity and differentiability If math lim ... 0 h f x 0 h math has an approximate limit as h approaches zero we say that f has an approximate derivative ... limit id Approximate limit oldid 13657 first G.P. last Tolstov DEFAULTSORT Approximate Limit Category ... more details
The Deutsch limit is an adage about visual programming language s originated by L. Peter Deutsch Peter Deutsch that states You can t have more than 50 visual primitives on the screen at the same time. The term was made up by Fred Lakin , after L. Peter Deutsch Peter Deutsch made the following comment at a talk on visual programming by Scott Kim and Warren Robinett Well, this is all fine and well, but the problem with visual programming languages is that you can t have more than 50 visual language primitive primitives on the screen at the same time. How are you going to write an operating system? This limit is sometimes cited as an example of the advantage of textual over visual languages, pointing out the greater information entropy information density of text. However, criticism of the limit includes that it is not clear whether a similar limit also exist in textual programming languages http www.faqs.org faqs visual lang faq and that the limit could be overcome by applying Modularity programming modularity to visual programming as is commonly done in textual programming.

A floor limit is the amount of money above which Visa, Inc. Visa Financial transaction transaction s must be authorised. The limit can vary from store to store. ref cite web title Glossary F, Floor Limit url http www.elect mer.com glossary f.html publisher Electronic Merchant Systems accessdate Retrieved August 18, 2011 ref Floor limits do not apply to certain types of debit card such as Visa Electron and Solo debit card Solo , as these cards require authorisation for every transaction to prevent the cardholder becoming overdraft overdrawn . The term floor limit comes from the days when it was the maximum amount which could be approved on the floor of the retailer , beyond which the cash register operator would have to call for approval. Floor limits were of more significance in the past, when most credit card merchants processed transactions by taking a physical imprint of the card rather than electronically swiping the magnetic strip, and obtaining an authorization required time consuming human intervention. With modern magnetic card readers, most merchants and banks will obtain an authorization even on very small charges, as it costs little to do so and helps protect against fraud. However, the concept of a floor limit may still come into play in certain cases. A few merchants still use the older system of taking a physical imprint of the card. Additionally, if the merchant or merchant s bank has trouble contacting the customer s bank due to computer network issues, transactions under a certain floor limit will still be approved electronically immediately. Example If a store has a floor limit of 30.00, a purchase costing 29.99 or less would not need to be authorized by the customer s bank . However, a transaction of 30.00 or more would require authorisation to confirm that the customer has the necessary funds available in their bank account .

Unreferenced date December 2009 The classical limit or correspondence limit is the ability of a theoretical physics physical theory to approximate or recover classical mechanics when considered over special values of its parameters. The classical limit is used with physical theories that predict non classical behavior. A postulate called the correspondence principle was introduced to Bohr model quantum theory by Niels Bohr it states that, in effect, some kind of continuity argument should apply to the classical limit of quantum systems as the value of Planck s constant compared to the action of these systems tends to zero. More rigorously, the mathematical operation involved in classical limits is a group contraction , approximating physical systems where the relevant action is much larger than Planck s constant , so the deformation parameter S can be effectively taken to be zero. cf. Weyl quantization . Thus typically, quantum commutators equivalently, Moyal bracket s reduce to Poisson bracket s. In quantum mechanics , due to Werner Heisenberg Heisenberg s uncertainty principle , an electron can never be at rest it must always have a non zero kinetic energy , a result not found in classical mechanics. For example, if we consider something very large relative to an electron, like a baseball, the uncertainty principle predicts that it cannot really have zero kinetic energy, but the uncertainty in kinetic energy is so small that the baseball can effectively appear to be at rest, and hence it appears to obey classical mechanics . In general, if large energies and large objects relative to the size and energy levels of an electron are considered in quantum mechanics, the result will appear to obey classical mechanics. It is less clear how the classical limit applies to chaotic ... parameter v c the classical limit involves small speeds, so v c 0, and the systems appear to obey Newtonian ... limit Quantum realm Weyl quantization Modern physics DEFAULTSORT Classical Limit Category Fundamental ... more details

Hayashi limit is a constraint upon the maximum radius of a star for a given mass . When a star is fully within hydrostatic equilibrium &mdash a condition where the inward force of gravity is matched by the outward pressure of the gas&mdash then the star can not exceed the radius defined by the Hayashi limit. This has important implications for the evolution of a star, both during the formulative contraction period and later when the star has consumed most of its hydrogen supply through nuclear fusion . ref cite conference author Martin Schwarzschild title The Study of Stellar Structure booktitle Theoretical Principles in Astrophysics and Relativity pages 1 14 publisher University of Chicago Press date May 27 29, 1975 location University of Chicago ref A Hertzsprung Russell diagram displays a plot of a star s surface temperature against the luminosity . On this diagram, the Hayashi limit forms a nearly vertical line at about 3,500 K. Low temperature stars are always fully convective, and models of stellar structure for fully convective stars do not provide a solution to the right of this line where a star is in equilibrium with lower surface temperatures . Thus stars are constrained to remain to the left of this limit during all periods when they are in hydrostatic equilibrium, and the region to the right of the line forms a type of forbidden zone . Note, however, that there are exceptions to the Hayashi limit. These include collapsing protostar s, as well as stars with magnetic fields that interfere with the internal transport of energy through convection. ref name clowes cite web last Clowes first Chris date July 3, 2005 url http www.peripatus.gen.nz Astronomy HerRusDia.html ... them up and to the right on the H R diagram.

The Lyman limit is the short wavelength end of the hydrogen Lyman series , at 91.2 nm. It corresponds to the energy required for an electron in the hydrogen ground state to escape from the electric potential barrier that originally confined it, thus creating a hydrogen ion . This energy is equivalent to the Rydberg constant .
