Answer

$T_2=56.96°C$

Work Step by Step

For an ideal gas: $PV=mRT$ Plugging in the values of $P_1=400\ kPa,\ V_1=100L=0.1m³,\ T_1=25°C=298.15\ K,$ $R=0.2870\ kJ/kg.K$, we get: $m = 0.467\ kg$ The energy balance for this system reduces to: $-W_{sh}=\Delta H = mc_p\Delta T$ With $W_{sh}=-15kJ, c_p=1.005\ kJ/kg$ we get to: $\Delta T=31.96 °C$ $T_2=56.96°C$
