A feedstock mixing apparatus for fuel processing systems, and fuel processing
and
fuel cell systems incorporating the same. A fuel processing system according to
the present invention includes one or more fuel processors adapted to produce a
product hydrogen stream from a feed stream containing water and a carbon-containing
feedstock. The fuel processing system further includes a feedstock delivery system
adapted to mix the components of the feed stream at a determined mix ratio and
to deliver this feed stream to the fuel processor(s). The fuel processing system
may also include one or more fuel cell stacks that are adapted to produce an electric
current from the product hydrogen stream produced by the fuel processing system.
When the fuel processing system includes at least one fuel cell stack, it may be
referred to as a fuel cell system.
