Abstract
In a reforming reactor (), a partial oxidation reaction is performed between a hydrocarbon fuel and air, and in a mixer (), water is injected into hot gas heated by the partial oxidation reaction to vaporize the water, and the vaporized water is mixed with the hot gas. In a shift reactor (), the vaporized water is made to undergo a shift reaction with the hot gas. In this way, a device for promoting vaporization of the water or a complex fuel injection device is not required.
