  1. torque usually is applied to motors, not generators.

    What does pressure have to do with alternator/generator size?

    You need a spec on output voltage and current or watts.

  2. If you are saying that the input torque and RPM are 17 Nm and 375 RPM, the input power would be .667 kW. You could estimate the size as comparable to a motor of the same power rating that is designed to operate at 375 RPM. Since data on such a motor is likely to be difficult to find, look at a motor that produces a 17 Nm torque at a higher RPM. The physical size of a machine is more nearly proportional to torque rather than power. At 1000 RPM, a machine that produces 17 Nm produces about 1.8 kW. Such a machine would be about 270 mm in diameter and 320 mm long excluding the shaft. That would be a rough estimate of the size of the machine that you describe. At 375 RPM, a 4 pole machine would produce only 12.5 Hz. A 16 pole machine would be required to produce 50 Hz.
