how do i determine the pulley diameters?

how do i determine the pulley diameters?

(OP)
What would the pulley diameters for a reciprocating compressor driven by a 28 kW two-cylinder diesel engine. The engine speed id 1500 rpm and the compressor speed id 950 rpm. The proposed distance between the engine and compressor shaft centres is approximately 1.5 m. The system is expected to be used for less than 10 hours per day.
Any help would be appreciated.
