THE METHOD OF PRODUCING FUEL GAS BY GASIFYING A CARBON-CONTAINING FUEL SUBSTANCE, WHICH COMPRISES PASSING SEPARATELY AND COAXIALLY A HEATING GAS AND A CARRIER GAS THROUGH AN ANNULAR PROCESSING CHAMBER OF CIRCULAR CROSS SECTION SO AS TO TRANSFER HEAT FROM SAID HEATING GAS TO SAID CARRIER GAS, THE CARRIER GAS CONTAINING THE SUBSTANCE TO BE PROCESSED, INJECTING SAID TWO GASES SEPARATELY INTO SAID CHAMBER SO AS TO IMPART TO SAID TWO GASES RESPECTIVE ROTARY MOVEMENTS OF THE SAME DIRECTION AND SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME ANGULAR VELOCITY AND FORMING THEREBY TWO ADJACENT, ANNULAR, COAXIAL, HELICAL STREAMS OF GAS HAVING DIFFERENT RADII AND WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANTIAL MIXING OF THE TWO GAS STREAMS, ONE STREAM BEING SUBSTANTIALLY WITHIN AND ADJACENT TO THE OTHER AND IN DIRECT HEAT EXCHANGING RELATION THERETO, WHEREBY SAID CARBON-CONTAINING SUBSTANCE IN SAID CARRIER GAS BECOMES THERMALLY CRACKED AND CONVERTED INTO A COMBUSTIBLE FUEL GAS, AND THEN SEPARATELY WITHDRAWING FROM SAID CHAMBER SAID COMBUSTIBLE FUEL GAS THUS FORMED AND SAID HEATING GAS.
