A reforming apparatus for producing a reformed gas from a fuel gas and steam, including a reformed gas-producing passage and a combustion gas passage, the reformed gas-producing passage having reforming catalyst, shift catalyst, and CO-selective oxidizing catalyst sections along a flowing direction of the reformed gas, the reformed gas-producing passage having a first passage adjacent to the combustion gas passage and including the reforming catalyst section and a second passage adjacent to the first passage, the second passage including a first heat-recovering section adjacent to the reforming catalyst section, and the first passage having a second heat-recovering section adjacent to one of the shift catalyst and CO-selective oxidizing catalyst sections, the first heat-recovering section located on an upstream side along the flow direction of the reformed gas relative to the reforming catalyst section.

Reforming apparatus

A side-face illuminating optical fiber comprising a core 1 transmitting therethrough light entering from an incident end of the optical fiber, a cladding 2 made of silica aerogel which covers an outer peripheral surface of the core, a transparent coating layer 3 which covers an outer periphery of the cladding, and an illuminating portion formed at least in a part of an interface between the core and the cladding. The light transmitting though said core radiates through the illuminating portion to the cladding.
