The dynamic shear viscosity of a binary liquid mixture phenol–water has been measured at different temperatures (50.0°C ≤ T ≤ 75.0°C) and different concentrations (0.00% up to 100.00% by weight of phenol). The critical temperature Tc and critical concentration xc are found to be 67.0°C and 33.90% by weight of phenol respectively, the critical mass density ρc is measured to be 0.8952 g/cm3. The critical and background amplitudes of specific heat at constant pressure are calculated to be 78.12 J/kg.K and 85.29 J/kg.K respectively. The pressure derivative of the critical temperature along the critical line ' cT T is calculated to be 9.722 ×10-6 K/Pa. In addition, dynamic shear viscosity of binary liquid mixture phenol–cyclohexane has been measured at different temperatures (14.0°C ≤ T ≤ 30.0°C) and different concentrations (2.00% up to 39.70% by weight of phenol). The critical temperature Tc and critical concentration xc are found to be 17.0°C and 2.70% by weight of phenol respectively; the critical mass density ρc is measured to be 0.7627 g/cm3. The critical and background amplitudes of isobaric thermal expansion coefficient αpc and αpb are calculated to be 8×10-6 K-1, 6×10-4 K-1 respectively. The pressure derivative of the critical temperature ' cT for the binary is calculated to be 2.8572 × 10-8 K/Pa. The universal quantity R+ ξ for the binary liquid critical mixture phenol–water is calculated to be 0.2716 ± 0.0005. In addition, the universal quantity R+ ξ for the binary liquid critical mixture phenol–cyclohexane is calculated to be 0.2699 ± 0.0001. The calculated values of the universal quantity R+ ξ are in a good agreement with the theoretical value of R+ ζ which is equal 0.2710. The two binary liquid critical mixture belong to the class of universality "Two–Scale–Factor Universality".
