**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.

- | The optimal λ value is **1.0** (14.7:1 air-fuel mass ratio for gasoline), where all fuel completely burns with available oxygen. This balance maximizes catalytic converter efficiency while minimizing emissions. | + | The optimal λ value is **1.0** (14.7:1 air-fuel mass ratio for gasoline), where all fuel completely burns with available oxygen.
