A power system includes an internal combustion engine having a primary combustion chamber and a secondary combustion chamber, a first fuel being supplied to the primary combustion chamber, a second fuel being burned in the secondary combustion chamber so as to ignite the first fuel; a reformer that reforms a fuel by a dehydrocyclization reaction to generate an aromatic-rich high-octane-value liquid fuel together with a hydrogen-rich gaseous fuel; a gas/liquid separator that separates the liquid fuel from the gaseous fuel; and devices for respectively supplying the liquid fuel as the first fuel to the primary combustion chamber and the gaseous fuel as the second fuel to the secondary combustion chamber. Thus, the power system improves the combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine. |
