The following shall apply to the compression:

T2 = T1 * (p2/p1)^(n-1)/n)

In an ideal isentropic and adiabatic compressor, n=κ=1.4 would be assumed. In the case of a real, loss-affected compressor, however, we cannot accept the isentrope exponent κ=1.4, but must accept a polytrope exponent of about 1.5:

T2 = 293 K * 7^(0.5/1.5) = 560 K = 287 °C

When the compressor is cooled, it can also be less.
