Class
    Foam::liquidMixtureProperties

Description
    A mixture of liquids

    An example of a two component liquid mixture:
    \verbatim
        <parentDictionary>
        {
            H2O; // employ default coefficients

            C7H16
            {
                // ... user defined properties for C7H16
            }
        }
