What size vent should these be replaced with?

this is an elevated rad at the end of the line above this is your standard vent, this vent is on top of the return, it’s 3/4 pipe ( this part of return is really only for this rad.) i dont think its working cause the top part of the rad gets hot where the other vent is but the bottom half where this is stays only warm 🤷🏻♂️
this next one is a main vent. Its vents about 30 ft of 2 inch see below. Whatever size it is it seems to be ok because the pipe gets hot pretty quick.. but i think its staying open once n a while a venting steam.
