2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fixed-bed type catalytic reactor has been known. However, in such a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, since the catalyst itself is porous and has a particle-packed layer, it has a high thermal conductivity. Transmission efficiency is not good. In addition, conventionally, there has been known a method in which hydrogen is produced by, for example, a natural gas reforming reaction (CH 4 + 2H 2 O = CO 2 + 4H 2 ) and used as fuel for a fuel cell. In this case, in a conventional hydrogen production apparatus, a reforming raw material (hydrocarbon +
In order to promote the reforming reaction, which is an endothermic reaction, the reactor was externally heated to control the reaction temperature. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a raw material (for example, natural gas and steam) is supplied to a reaction tube 12 filled with catalyst particles 10, and the reaction tube 12 is indirectly heated from the outside to cause a reforming reaction to be performed. A rich reformed gas was generated. Further, a plate heat exchanger type reactor equipped with a fin coated with a catalyst has been conventionally known (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-34).

The hydrogen production apparatus shown in FIG. 3 in which the catalyst packed bed is a fixed bed in the external indirect heating system is controlled by heat transfer, so that the distribution of the reaction temperature is large, and the reaction is controlled. If wrong, a carbon deposition reaction as a side reaction or generation of a heat spot may cause a serious accident such as blockage or damage of the reaction tube 12. In a conventional plate heat exchanger type reactor, a heat transfer fin having a two-dimensional structure is generally used. In this reactor, heat transfer is rate-controlled by the shape, and heat transfer in the two-dimensional direction is mainly performed, so that it cannot be said that heat transfer efficiency is good.
