thermochemical propulsion

Thermochemical propulsion involves creating high-pressure, high-temperature gases through chemical reactions, such as burning or combustion, to generate thrust. When fuel reacts with an oxidizer in a confined space, it produces hot gases that rapidly expand and are expelled through a nozzle, producing force that propels the vehicle forward. This method is commonly used in rockets and missiles, where controlled chemical reactions provide a powerful and reliable source of propulsion. The efficiency of thermochemical engines depends on the type of fuel and oxidizer, the reaction conditions, and the design of the exhaust system.
