Dear Saibal,

It depends whether you are interested in K-Na or (K,Na)Al-Si exchange. 
These references should help you:

Hovis, Guy L.; Crelling, James A.  The effects of excess silicon on 
immiscibility in the nepheline-kalsilite system.    American Journal of 
Science  (2000),  300(3),  238-249.

Hovis, Guy L.; Roux, Jacques.  Thermodynamics of excess silicon in 
nepheline and kalsilite crystalline solutions.    European Journal of 
Mineralogy  (1999),  11(5),  815-827.

Hovis, Guy L.; Roux, Jacques.  Thermodynamic mixing properties of 
nepheline-kalsilite crystalline solutions.    American Journal of 
Science  (1993),  293(10),  1108-27.

Sack, Richard O.; Ghiorso, Mark S.  Thermodynamics of feldspathoid 
solutions.    Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology  (1998), 
130(3-4),  256-274.

Ferry, John M.; Blencoe, James G.  Subsolidus phase relations in the 
nepheline-kalsilite system at 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 kbar.    American 
Mineralogist  (1978),  63(11-12),  1225-40.

I believe that Sack-Ghiorso's formulation is also incorporated in the 
Melts software,
