Abstract:
1. A hydrogen-producing fuel processing assembly, comprising: a hydrogen-producing region adapted to receive at least a feed stream containing at least a carbon-containing feedstock and to produce a mixed gas stream containing hydrogen gas as a majority component therefrom; and a feedstock delivery system adapted to deliver the feed stream containing at least a carbon-containing feedstock to the hydrogen-producing region of the fuel processing assembly within a hydrogen-producing pressure range, wherein the feedstock delivery system is in communication with a liquid supply containing at least the carbon-containing feedstock, wherein the feedstock delivery system comprises: wherein the feedstock delivery system is adapted to deliver the feed stream to the hydrogen-producing region within the hydrogen-producing pressure range without varying the flow rate of the liquid outlet stream in response to changes in a demand for hydrogen production by the hydrogen-producing region when the hydrogen-producing region is in a hydrogen-producing operating state.
