Equations of State Applicable to Detonation

For example, when a plane detonation wave is used to push a metal plate in contact with the condensed explosive, the plate receives most of the energy from the initial 

In the list of equations of state and of some other equations used in detonation calculations, which follows, the symbols listed by Cook (Ref 12, pp 376-78) will be used, with a few exceptions. Small v will be used for specific volume (cc per gram of expl) and small e for specific energy, although some investigators use caps. For pressure which does not include intrinsic pressure, tu, small p will be used, while P will be used for total pressure p + tu (See eq 6) and not for p/p2 listed by Cook. Some of the symbols used in equations of state are not listed by Cook 

For condensed explosives whose products of detonation contain a condensed phase, Taylor (Ref 7, p 114) gives
