Answer

$T_2=49.2°C$

Work Step by Step

At the initial state for air: $V=4\times5\times6=120m³$ For an ideal gas (given $P_1=95\ kPa,\ R=0.2870 kJ/kg.K,\ T_1=288\ K$: $PV=mRT$ Solving for the mass: $m_{air}=137.9\ kg$ The energy balance fr the system is: $\Delta U_{air}+\Delta U_{water}=0$ Given $c_{v,water}=4.18\ kJ/kg.K,\ c_{v,air}=0.718\ kJ/kg.K,\ m_{water}=1000\ kg$, $T_{1,air}=15°C, T_{1,water} = 50°C$ and solving for the final temperature: $T_2=49.2°C$
