Thermodynamic properties (e.g. specific heat, conductivity, ...) of materials vary with temperature. For analyses where the temperature variation is important you cannot disregard this effect. In order to account for the correct gas properties you can choose among different methods, this holds in Fluent as in any other CFD code. By choosing a piecewise-linear interpolation method you are asked to define the value of the property you are considering at several temperatures (e.g. cp=1000J/kgK@T=300K, cp=1100J/kgK@T=600K, cp=1170J/kgK@T=900K). The CFD code will then compute the value of the property by linearly interpolating among the values defined (e.g. if T=400K then cp=1033J/kgK, if T=800K cp=1147J/kgK). The finer the input data table, the more correct the interpolation will be.
You can activate this method in Fluent from the material properties dialog box.
