      Presumably, the warm water is releasing the heat to some cooler surface or fluid.  A joule equates to 0.239 calories.  A calorie is the amount of heat it would take to raise one gram of water one degree C.  Therefore (402.7 joules x 0.239 calories/joule) would be 96.2 calories.  If 16.25 grams of water released that much heat the temperature would be depressed by (96.2/16.25) = 5.92 degrees C.  Therefore, the 54 degree C water would reach a temperature of (54-5.9) = 48.1 degrees C.
