2.3.4 How the cross-sectional surface responds to pressure .
At higher pressures, the effective cross-sectional surface changes due to the pressure load.
The ratio of the cross-section and prevailing pressure is linear within an initial approximation. It is
represented by the coefficient of expansion caused by pressure distortion (λ).
