A Session is per browser (determined via cookies), but when does an "Application" start, and end, and how does IIS know know when a request is a part of the same same "Application" instance (if not done via cookies the same way that sessions are)?

A session is usually for a user and only lasts from when they login to when they logout (or get timed out). Application State has a much longer lifetime, is shared between all users, and is only cleared when the process is restarted.
application variable creates only one memory for one variable and for all user . while session creates one memory for one variable for one user :) Application variable will be maintained like global variable.
Session state is a means by which Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 stores information about each unique client session. For example, if your Web site has a shopping cart application, the contents of each client's shopping cart can be stored in session state.
Cookies are client-side files that are stored on a local computer and contain user information. Sessions are server-side files that store user information. Cookies expire after the user specified lifetime. The session ends when the user closes the browser or logs out of the program.
"Application" scope is global, and every request to a website shares the same application. Anything stored in the application is visible to all users. The application starts when the first request to the website is made, and ends when IIS stops the website (for example, when IIS itself is shut down, or when the website hasn't been accessed in a while).
