Class
    Foam::liquidMixtureProperties

Description
    A mixture of liquids

    An example of a two component liquid mixture:
    \verbatim
        <parentDictionary>
        {
            H2O
            {
                defaultCoeffs   yes;     // employ default coefficients
            }
            C7H16
            {
                defaultCoeffs   no;
                C7H16Coeffs
                {
                    ... user defined properties for C7H16
                }
