Style
There is an important guidance document at Wikipedia that describes all the things that Wikipedia isn't. See What Wikipedia is not. At para 2.7 it states that Wikipedia is not a manual, guide book or text book. Consequently high-quality articles should not use the first-person plural ("we") in the manner to be found in a good textbook. In your draft there are six instances where you are proposing expressions with "we" such as That is what we will do in this section. This mode of expression would be commendable in a textbook, but Wikipedia isn't a textbook. I suggest you find alternative language, more appropriate to an encyclopaedia.


 * There is a sentence "... it is possible to derive relationships between and other, more convenient quantities." There appears to be a missing word after "between".

 * The final sentence begins "The provides an expression for the Joule–Thomson coefficient ... ..." There appears to be a missing word at "The xxxxx provides an expression ....


 * Thank you, Dolphin. I have now banished we, regrettably with some increased use of the passive voice. I have also made the other corrections. I hope you don't mind my moving things around; I am still figuring our how to organize things here. Retired Pchem Prof (talk) 23:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Equations
You are proposing:
 * $$\mu_{\mathrm{T}} = - C_{\mathrm{p}} \mu_{\mathrm{JT}}$$.
 * "This equation can be used to obtain Joule-Thompson coefficient from the more easily measured isothermal Joule–Thomson coefficient."

Your equation is written in the form that can be used to obtain the isothermal J-T coefficient when Cp and the J-T coefficient are known. If you wish to present an equation that can be used to obtain the J-T coefficient when the isothermal J-T coefficient is known, I suggest the equation should be presented as follows:
 * $$\mu_{\mathrm{JT}} = - \frac{\mu_{\mathrm{T}}} {C_p}$$

 * Done. Retired Pchem Prof (talk) 20:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
