Crude oil ( = 40 cP, SG = 0.87) is to be pumped from a storage tank

Question:

Crude oil (μ = 40 cP, SG = 0.87) is to be pumped from a storage tank to a refinery through a series of pump stations via 10- in, schedule-20, commercial-steel pipeline at a flowrate of 2000 gpm. The pipeline is 50 mi long and contains 35 90° elbows and 10 open gate valves. The pipeline exit is 150 ft higher than the entrance, and the exit pressure is 25 psig.
