Epsilon Eridani B is still unconfirmed, and details about it's size can only be speculative.
Based on it's mass being about 1.5 that of Jupiter, it's diameter will be about the same, as gas giants do not increase in diameter with masses <1.6 MJ. Above this value the planet will shrink.
So it's fair to say that Epsilon Eridani B will be the same size as Jupiter - give or take.

How old is the Epsilon star?
There is no such thing as an "epsilon star". There are several stars that have "epsilon" in their names; basically one for every constellation, so "Epsilon" followed by the genitive for example, Epsilon Eridani, Epsilon Crucis, Epsilon Canis Maioris, etc.
How far away are you from nearby planets?
Outside of our solar system the nearest planet is 10.5 light years away orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani.
Who discovered the first white dwarf?
The first white dwarf star was discovered in 1783 by William Herschel. However, it was not called a white dwarfs until 1910, when Henry Norris Russell, Edward Charles Pickering, and Williamina Fleming studied the star further and used the term "white dwarf" to describe it.
How do you calculate field diameter?
Field diameter is calculated by measuring the distance across the field of view of a microscope, then dividing that measurement by the magnification of the objective lens being used. This gives you the field diameter in micrometers.
What is the brightness of Zibal?
Zibal, also known as Zeta Eridani, has an apparent visual magnitude of 2.8, making it relatively bright and easily visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
When was Epsilon Eridani b created?
Epsilon Eridani b was created in 2000.
How far is Epsilon Eridani from Sirius?
If Epsilon Eridani actually exisits, I think the distance is 10.5 light years.
Is Epsilon Eridani a undiscovered planet?
Epsilon Eridani is a galaxy in Halo books but one day somebody might name a planet after it.
Which planet is closest to the solar system?
The exoplanet Epsilon Eridani b at about 10.3 light years from us.
What is a name of your solar system?
"The Solar System". Any other system will be identified with the name of the primary star; for example, a hypothetical solar system around Epsilon Eridani would be called "the Epsilon Eridani system". (Epsilon Eridani is a star about 12 LY away which is very similar to our Sun.)
What is the color of 40 Eridani B?
Eridani is a trinary system, three stars. Eridani B is a whit dwarf. A is an orange dwarf, and C is a red dwarf flare star.
How far is epsilon away from the earth?
There is no star with that name. Many stars have names that start with "Epsilon", followed by the genitive of a constellation, e.g. "Epsilon Cruxis", "Epsilon Geminorum", etc. If its epsilon segin cassiopeia, it is 520L/Y(light years) away from earth.

Will the K-type Epsilon Eridani star eventually evolve into a G-type main sequence star like the Sun?
No. A star's class on the main sequence is ultimately predetermined by its mass, so a star cannot change its position on the main sequence. Epsilon Eridani is about 82% the mass of the sun, which limits it to a lower rate of fusion and thus a lower temperature and luminosity than a G-type star like the sun. Epsilon Eridani's only change in class will come when it leaves the main sequence to become a red giant.
When was Epsilon Reticuli b created?
Epsilon Reticuli b was created in 2000.
When was Epsilon Tauri b created?
Epsilon Tauri b was created in 2007.
How far away are you from nearby planets?
Outside of our solar system the nearest planet is 10.5 light years away orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani.
