Answer

$\dot{W}_{\mathrm{rev}}=2300 \mathrm{~kW} $

Work Step by Step

From the definition of the second law efficiency $$ \eta_{\mathrm{II}}=\frac{\dot{W}_{\mathrm{rev}}}{\dot{W}_{\text {actual }}} \rightarrow 0.20=\frac{\dot{W}_{\mathrm{rev}}}{11,500 \mathrm{~kW}} \rightarrow \dot{W}_{\mathrm{rev}}=2300 \mathrm{~kW} $$ which is the maximum power that can be generated.
