That is not a simple anwer. It depends on the roof design and how many, and where the load points are, and the material of the beam(wood, metal, composite). See a structural engineer.
What size woodlam beam or I-beam would be needed to remove a milepost in a basement and span 28 feet?
That depends on what it is carrying. . .you definitely need to consult a structural engineer for this information, and having the original set of plans to show him will help. FYI. . .28 feet is a VERY long clear-span for any type of beam.
What size spruce beam header would you need to span 12 feet while supporting the center of a truss roof?

What size you beam is needed to span 40 feet if used only for roof support?
It depends on the roof load and the actual clear span. Off hand, I would guess htat you haven't given this much thought. A rule of thumb for a steel truss is one inch per foot of span or in your case 40 inches. If you want to use a steel I-beam, you can get that from a good municipal library from the steel beam institute, but you are going to need a crane to place it. Dieter in Cincinnati

What size laminated timber beam is needed for a 23 foot clear span under a 15 foot roof in between load bearing walls -?
38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.
