Replacing a supporting center wall with an I-beam or fir beam on a main floor bungalow

The wall is 7 feet long running parallel with the roof peak, straight below the roof peak center. This 7 foot wall ends 9 feet from the outside wall with the roof gable. The other end of the wall ends with a door entry. This door entry to the other far end of the house starts the final long wall that goes to that far other end of the house. This wall is also in the center of the house. The roof truss width is 30 feet. If I remove the 7 foot wall how do I calculate the beam size in fir or paralam type or steel I-beam type?
