German term or phrase: Mischungskreuz
Apparently this is a word for how to mix two components in order to achieve a certain concentration in the new solution. Does anyone know what that might be in English? Apparently it can apply to thermodynamics and other disciplines where mixing occurs.

Explanation:
I have seen "Mischungskreuz" referred to as "Pearson square".

The folowing link shows a simple "Mischungskreuz":

The Pearson square or box method of balancing rations is a simple procedure that has been used for many years. It is of greatest value when only two ingredients are to be mixed. In taking a close look at the square, several numbers are in and around the square. Probably one of the more important numbers is the number that appears in the middle of the square. This number represents the nutritional requirement of an animal for a specific nutrient. It may be crude protein or TDN, amino acids, minerals or vitamins.
