To be useful, an equation of state for detonation products must allow rapid computation. The constraints applied by this requirement have surprising thermodynamic effects. Some of these are discussed here. A simple, complete equation of state is proposed, and its properties are discussed. With the form assumed here, all the useful integrals (except for the Riemann integral) can be written simply and explicitly, so the behavior of the important variables can be easily seen. The complete equation of state is calibrated for PBX9404 and PBX9501
