In a reforming reactor (31), a partial oxidation reaction is performed
between a hydrocarbon fuel and air, and in a mixer (32), 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 (33), 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.
