Question:

how 2 find pipe diameter for a compressed air line?

what is the diameter of a pipe which carries cement to a silo top, if initial pressure,delivery height,flow rate are available?

Answer:

You need to determine the velocity needed to keep the cement in suspension while transfering. From that you can size the pipe to maintain this velocity throught the length of the pipe.
Ahhh, and what should be the wall thickness if the pipe material is known?
