	We will leave that stream as unspecified.
Type mixer-out Press Enter.	Let’s change the name of this stream to mixer-out. Press Enter.
Click Mixer	We are now ready to specify the Mixer. So let’s click on it.
Point to the tab on the left.	On the left, we can see a tab displaying properties related to the Mixer.
Point to the Connections tab	Here we can see that the mixer has up to 6 inlet streams.
Go to Connections Click on drop down arrow against Inlet Stream 1 Select Inlet1.	Under Connections, click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream 1. Select Inlet1.
Click on drop down arrow against Inlet Stream 2 Select Inlet2.	Click on the drop-down against Inlet Stream 2 and select Inlet2.
Click on drop down arrow against Outlet Stream Select mixer-out	Click on the drop-down against Outlet Stream and select mixer-out.
	We can move the streams to make them better aligned.
Cursor to the mixer	The mixer is red, as it is not simulated yet.
Click on the mixer.	Click on the mixer.
Cursor to Calculation Parameters Cursor to Pressure Calculation	Go to Calculation Parameters. Click on the drop-down against Pressure Calculation. We can see there are three different modes of Pressure Calculation: Inlet Minimum Inlet Average Inlet Maximum
Point to Inlet Minimum	Select Inlet Minimum if outlet pressure has to be minimum of all inlet streams.
Point to Inlet Average	Select Inlet Average if outlet pressure has to be average of all inlet streams.
Point to Inlet Maximum	Select Inlet Maximum if outlet pressure has to be maximum of all inlet streams.
	Here both the inlet streams are at 1 atm pressure. So, the Pressure Calculation mode will not matter here. By default, Inlet Minimum is selected, we will leave it unchanged.
	Now we will run the simulation.
Click on Solve Flowsheet button	So, click on the Solve Flowsheet button on the toolbar.
Point to the Mixer	The mixer has become blue now. It means that the calculations are completed.
Click on mixer-out and hover mouse at Properties Point to Property Editor Window Hover mouse at Results	Now click on mixer-out stream. Go to the Property Editor Window of the Mixer. Locate Results tab.
