STEAM GENERATING SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure Disclosed is a catalytic combustor and systems for the boilerless stoichiometric production of a working fluid such as steam from a fuel-mixture comprised of a carbonaceous fuel and a diluent such as water mixed in a thermally self-extinguishing mass ratio. Production of the steam is by a controlled substantially stoichiometric process utilizing a combustor to provide steam over a wide range of heat release rates, temperatures and pressures for steam flooding an oil bearing formation. Even though formation characteristics change during a steam flooding operation, output steam of the combustor may be kept at a constant heat release rate by dividing the total amount of water passing through combustor between a first portion which is included in the fuel-mixture and a second portion which is injected into the heated products of combustion. In this way, the space velocity of the fluid stream passing through the combustor catalyst may be kept within operational limits of the catalyst while maintaining stoichiometric combustion. When necessary, preheating of at least one of the components of the mixture burned in the catalyst is provided by a portion of the heat of combustion.
