Description

When parsing the output file with Cantera it warns:

**** WARNING ****
For species HOCHO(61), discontinuity in h/RT detected at Tmid = 1000
	Value computed using low-temperature polynomial:  -40.3604
	Value computed using high-temperature polynomial: -38.1678

More generally, it might be a good idea to check all our thermo libraries for this type of error

Research direction

Start with the HOCHO(61) entry in the Klippenstein_Glarborg2016 thermo library and reproduce the discontinuity warning using Cantera. Compare the low- and high-temperature polynomial values at 1000 K, then inspect the other thermo libraries for the same error. Done means the HOCHO data and any other identified discontinuities are corrected and no longer trigger warnings.
