For the first time, in the proposed multisolid thermodynamic model,&amp;gamma; approach has been used for calculation of fugacity in the liquid mixture. Therefore, some activity coefficient models have been studied that the results show that the predictive Wilson model is more appropriate than others. The results demonstrate &amp;gamma; approach using the predictive Wilson model is in more agreement with experimental data than the previous multisolid models. Also, by this method, generates a new approach for presenting stability analysis in phase equilibrium calculations. Meanwhile, the run time in &amp;gamma; approach is less than the previous methods used &amp;curren;&amp;ograve; approach. The results of the new model present 0.75 AAD (Average Absolute Deviation) from the experimental data which is less than the results error of the previous multisolid models obviously.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 5, 2007</index> </article>
