Why is "alphaEqn.H" used in twoLiquidMixingFoam?, when rho is already calculated in "alphaDiffusionEqn.H"?

Answer to my own post:
I think the full equation for alpha is split into two equations.
One gets a contibution from convection from alphaEqn.H and one get the contribution from diffusion from alphaDiffusion.
These two are then mixed somehow to get the total alpha.
