class MixerData(UnitModelBlockData):
    """
    This is a general purpose model for a Mixer block with the IDAES modeling
    framework. This block can be used either as a stand-alone Mixer unit
    operation, or as a sub-model within another unit operation.

    This model creates a number of StateBlocks to represent the incoming
    streams, then writes a set of phase-component material balances, an
    overall enthalpy balance and a momentum balance (2 options) linked to a
    mixed-state StateBlock. The mixed-state StateBlock can either be specified
    by the user (allowing use as a sub-model), or created by the Mixer.

    When being used as a sub-model, Mixer should only be used when a set
    of new StateBlocks are required for the streams to be mixed. It should not
    be used to mix streams from mutiple ControlVolumes in a single unit model -
    in these cases the unit model developer should write their own mixing
    equations.

    This is a general purpose model for a Mixer block with the IDAES modeling
    framework. This block can be used either as a stand-alone Mixer unit
    operation, or as a sub-model within another unit operation.

    This model creates a number of StateBlocks to represent the incoming
    streams, then writes a set of phase-component material balances, an
    overall enthalpy balance and a momentum balance (2 options) linked to a
    mixed-state StateBlock. The mixed-state StateBlock can either be specified
    by the user (allowing use as a sub-model), or created by the Mixer.

    When being used as a sub-model, Mixer should only be used when a set
    of new StateBlocks are required for the streams to be mixed. It should not
    be used to mix streams from mutiple ControlVolumes in a single unit model -
    in these cases the unit model developer should write their own mixing
    equations.
