In the process of the space shuttle entering the earths atmosphere, the maximum stagnation point heating occurs

Question:

In the process of the space shuttle entering the earth’s atmosphere, the maximum stagnation point heating occurs at the trajectory point corre- sponding to the altitude of 68.9 km, where ρ∞ = 1.075 × 10−4 kg/m3, with a flight speed of 6.61 km/s. At this point of entering orbit, the shuttle is at an angle of attack of 40.2°, showing an effective nose radius at the stagnation point of 1.29 m. If the wall temperature TW = 1110 K, calculate the stagnation point heating rate.
