    What equation do I need to find the kinematic viscosity of water given the temp and pressure?

    I am given the temp and pressure (10 deg C and 35564 kPa) and need to find the kinematic viscosity of water. I know that the kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity/density but how do I take into account the temperature and pressure? I don't want an answer, just an equation or explanation. Thanks.

    I really doubt that pressure will be an issue with either viscosity or density. You may need to consult the Temp./ viscosity tables and the Temp./ density tables and just plug those values into the equation you alteady have. The viscosity will vary with temperature, the density, not much. To be practical, if you can find one , a (rho) at around 20C , just use that one.
