We believe that our galaxy was formed from a huge cloud of gas. The original cloud was far larger than the present size of the galaxy, was more or less spherical, and was rotating very much more slowly than the galaxy is now. In this sketch, we see the original cloud and the galaxy as it is now (seen edgewise). Explain how the law of gravitation and the conservation of angular momentum contribute to the galaxy's present shape and why it rotates faster now than when it was a larger, spherical cloud.

Oxygen gas enters well-insulated diffuser at 25 lbf/in.2, 420r, with a velocity of 860 ft/s through a flow area of 1.6 in.^2. at the exit, the flow area is 12 times the inlet area, and the velocity is 19 ft/s. the potential energy change from inlet to exit is negligible. assuming ideal gas behavior for the oxygen and steady-state operation of the diffuser, determine the following: (a) the exit temperature, in r(b) the exit pressure, in lbf/in.^2 (c) the mass flow rate, in lb/s
