What is your rationale for, "and with the added surface area, this flow will increase"?

How is this different from doubling the length of a pipe with a fluid flowing in it?

Doubling the length of the pipe will double the surface area, but doubling the length also doubles the friction, so to maintain flow rate you will need higher compressor power.

Did I miss seeing that you included "increasing compressor power"?
