Fuel reforming apparatus
First Claim
1. A fuel reforming apparatus for reforming a mixture of fuel and gas containing oxygen, comprising:
- a mixing chamber into which fuel and gas containing oxygen are supplied; and
a reforming reaction chamber which is provided downstream of the mixing chamber, and which includes a reforming catalyst for reforming the mixture, wherein a cross sectional area of an outlet of the mixing chamber is smaller than a cross sectional area of an inlet of the reforming reaction chamber.

Abstract
A fuel reforming apparatus for reforming a mixture of fuel and gas containing oxygen includes an air-fuel mixing chamber into which fuel and air are supplied in such a manner that the fuel and the air are mixed with each other; a reforming reaction chamber which is provided downstream of the air-fuel mixing chamber, and which includes a reforming catalyst for reforming the mixture; and a mixture flow chamber which is provided between the air-fuel mixing chamber and the reforming reaction chamber. The cross sectional area of an outlet of the air-fuel mixing chamber is smaller than the cross sectional area of an inlet of the reforming reaction chamber. An inner wall surface of the mixture flow chamber is formed such that the outlet of the air-fuel mixing chamber is smoothly continuous with the inlet of the reforming reaction chamber.
