    Given the Temperature and Pressure at the stagnation point. Density is related to pressure and temperature as P=\rho RT. Calculate the density at this point. Given,  \begin{array}{l}T = {934^ \circ }R\\p = 7.8\,atm\\Density = \rho  = ?\\P = \rho RT\\\rho  = \frac{P}{{RT}} = \frac{{\left( {7.8 \times 2116} \right)}}{{1716 \times 934}} = 0.0103\,slug/f{t^3}\end{array}Therefore, density is 0.0103\,slug/f{t^3}.  Calculate {c_p},{c_v},e\,{\rm{and}}\,h for stagnation point conditions, Specific heat at constant pressure c_p and Specific heat at constant volume c_v is related to gamma \gamma and gas constant R as

    a)  {c_p} = \frac{{\gamma R}}{{\gamma  – 1}} = \frac{{1.4 \times 1716}}{{0.4}} = 6006\frac{{ft}}{{slug}}\frac{{lb}}{{{}^ \circ R}}{c_v} = \frac{R}{{\gamma  – 1}} = \frac{{1716}}{{0.4}} = 4290\frac{{ft}}{{slug}}\frac{{lb}}{{{}^ \circ R}}e = {c_v}T = 4290(934) = 4.007 \times {10^6}\frac{{ft\,lb}}{{slug}}h = {c_p}T = 6006(934) = 5.610 \times {10^6}\frac{{ft\,lb}}{{slug}}e and h are the internal energy and specific enthalpy of the gas molecules

    b) For a  calorically perfect gas, {c_p} and {c_v} are constants, {c_p} = 6006\frac{{ft}}{{slug}}\frac{{lb}}{{{}^ \circ R}};\,{c_v} = 4290\frac{{ft}}{{slug}}\frac{{lb}}{{{}^ \circ R}}Also at standard sea level T = {519^ \circ }R, thereforee = 4290 \times 519 = 2.227 \times {10^6}\frac{{ft\,lb}}{{slug}}h = 6006\left( {519} \right) = 3.117 \times {10^6}\frac{{ft\,lb}}{{slug}}
