The total energy is given by :

                                        E\ =\ K.E\ +\ P.E

or                                           =\ \frac{1}{2}mv^2\ +\ mgh

The burning of casing results in a reduction in the mass of the rocket. This leads to a lowering in the total energy.

Thus heat required for burning is obtained from the expenses of the rocket.
