Default i beam question

i have an enclosed sunroom attached to the side of my house. i can enter
the room through a standard size doorway but i would like to open the
entrance considerably, about 10 feet or so.i guess the way to go would
be to put in an i beam header to support the weight. what size i beam
would i use? the i beam would be part of an exterior load bearing wall.
thanks, cj
