Answer

$T_2=458.4\ K$ $W_{b,e}=120\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For ideal gases: $PV=mRT$ Given $R=0.287\ kJ/kg.K,\ P=600\ kPa$: Initial $V_1=0.25\ m³,\ T_1=300°C$: $m_1=0.9121\ kg$ Final $m_2=0.25m_1=0.2280\ kg$ Hence the final temperature ($V_2=0.05\ m³$): $T_2=458.4\ K$ $W_{b,e}=-P\Delta V$ $W_{b,e}=120\ kJ$
