We introduce a class of partial differential equations on metric graphs associated with mixed evolution: on some edges we consider diffusion processes, on other ones transport phenomena. This yields a system of equations with possibly nonlocal couplings at the boundary. We provide sufficient conditions for these to be governed by a contraction semigroup on a Hilbert space naturally associated with the system. Subsequently, we devote our interest to further natural questions in the fields of parabolic and elliptic differential equations and eventually obtain a characterization of the sub-Markovian property and a description of the spectrum. We conclude the article showing that our setting is also adequate to discuss specific systems of diffusion equations with boundary delays.
