I heard about Lambda fuel recently and I'm curious to know more about it. What exactly is Lambda fuel and how does it differ from regular fuel? Is it more efficient or environmentally friendly?

The air–fuel equivalence ratio, denoted as λ or lambda, serves as a crucial metric in combustion processes.

Conversely, mixtures with a λ value greater than 1.0 are lean, with more air than necessary for complete combustion of the fuel present.

It measures the ratio of the actual air-fuel ratio (AFR) to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for a specific mixture.

When λ equals 1.0, the mixture is said to be at stoichiometry, meaning the amounts of air and fuel are perfectly balanced for complete combustion.

Mixtures with a λ value less than 1.0 are considered rich, indicating an excess of fuel relative to the stoichiometric ratio.
