This document calculates the exhaust pipe diameter for a 2500 kVA continuous rating diesel generator set. It provides parameters like maximum allowed back pressure, site conditions of ambient temperature and altitude, pipe length and bends, corrected exhaust temperature, exhaust gas flow rate, and density. Based on these inputs, the exhaust pipe diameter is calculated as 466.8 mm or 18.4 inches, rounded up to 20 inches. The calculated back pressure of 5.66 kPa is below the maximum allowed of 8.5 kPa.
