Answer

$\mu=\frac{T^2}{c_p}\left(\frac{\partial(v / T)}{\partial T}\right)_P$

Work Step by Step

From Eq. 12-52 of the text, $$ c_p=\frac{1}{\mu}\left[T\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P-v\right] $$ Expanding the partial derivative of $v T$ produces $$ \left(\frac{\partial v / T}{\partial T}\right)_P=\frac{1}{T}\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P-\frac{v}{T^2} $$ When this is multiplied by $T^2$, the right-hand side becomes the same as the bracketed quantity above. Then, $$ \mu=\frac{T^2}{c_p}\left(\frac{\partial(v / T)}{\partial T}\right)_P $$
