Work Step by Step

The relations for entropy differential are $$ \begin{aligned} & d s=c_v \frac{d T}{T}+\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_v d v \\ & d s=c_p \frac{d T}{T}-\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P d P \end{aligned} $$ For fixed $s$, these basic equations reduce to $$ \begin{aligned} & c_v \frac{d T}{T}=-\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_v d v \\ & c_P \frac{d T}{T}=\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P d P \end{aligned} $$ Also, when $s$ is fixed, $$ \frac{\partial v}{\partial P}=\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_x $$ Forming the specific heat ratio from these expressions gives $$ k=-\frac{\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial P}\right)_v}{\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_s} $$ The cyclic relation is $$ \left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial v}\right)_T\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial P}\right)_v=-1 $$ Solving this for the numerator of the specific heat ratio expression and substituting the result into this numerator produces $$ k=\frac{\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_T}{\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_s}=-\frac{v \alpha}{\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_s} $$
