Hi Everyone
What does it mean "Trapped Volume" in propulsion systems?

Oh No This is a general question that when i read an article about propulsion systems it came to me.
 
It is pretty self-explanatory. It is a volume where the contents are not allowed to expand. Liquid oxygen in a trapped volume, for example, is a very bad situation because as it warms it will create explosive levels of pressure, if it cannot expand.
