 **Lambda (λ)** represents the //air-fuel ratio// in combustion engines relative to the stoichiometric ideal. Calculated as \( \lambda = \frac{\text{Actual Air-Fuel Ratio}}{\text{Stoichiometric Ratio}} \), this dimensionless value is critical for engine management and emissions control. **Lambda (λ)** represents the //air-fuel ratio// in combustion engines relative to the stoichiometric ideal.
