With a span of only 8" you can probably use a wood beam, but without a set of plans no one can accurately answer your question.
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.

I-beam
There are a lot of considerations to be taken into account for sizing steel shapes, especially for a residential home. For instance, what are the load imposed upon the beam? How will the beam be supported? What environment will the beam sit in (i.e. high humidity, moisture, vibration)? A licensed professional engineer or architect in your state can better answer this question.

Support the load whatever it is, roof, second floor, generally by putting a temporary beam under the joist inside of the existing wall, tear the wall out and put in a beam to carry the load. How big the beam needs to be depends on what the load is and how long the span is. Support the beam on each end and remove the temporary beam. These are the general steps, each project is going to be slightly different and has to be figured on it's own.
Not sure why you need a beam that bears no load. You can go 22'. Beyond that it needs to be broken down to shorter lengths.
The recommended size and material for a support beam to reinforce a load-bearing wall in a residential structure is typically a steel or engineered wood beam that is sized according to the specific load requirements of the wall. It is important to consult with a structural engineer to determine the exact specifications needed for the support beam.
The weight a steel I beam can hold depends on its dimensions, material properties, and the way it is supported. Steel beams are typically rated based on their load-bearing capacity in pounds per foot or kilonewtons per meter. To determine the exact weight a specific steel I beam can hold, you would need to consult structural engineering tables or software that consider factors such as the beam's span, section modulus, and moment of inertia.

The most efficient beam or column design depends on the specific requirements of the structure, including the loads it needs to support and the span or height it needs to cover. In general, I-shaped steel beams are commonly used for their high strength-to-weight ratio, while composite columns (steel encased in concrete) can provide high load-bearing capacity and efficiency. It is best to consult a structural engineer to determine the most efficient design for a particular project.
