The heat created by the combustion in the thrust chamber of a chemical rocket engine equals the change in enthalpy of the gases.

The heat created by the combustion in the thrust chamber of a chemical rocket engine equals the change in enthalpy of the gases. Correct Answer True

The heat generated during combustion of the propellants is the heat that is necessary to raise the resulting gases to their final temperature adiabatically. This follows from the conservation of energy.
