Fuel processing and fuel cell systems with feedstock delivery systems that
are designed to deliver a mixed component feed stream to a
hydrogen-producing region for the production of hydrogen gas therefrom
and to selectively deliver the feed stream to a heating assembly for use
as a combustible fuel stream for heating at least the hydrogen-producing
region. The feed stream contains water and a carbon-containing feedstock,
and may contain at least 31 vol % water. In some embodiments, the
feedstock delivery system may be 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.
