The measurements of heat transfer and total friction factors for turbulent flows in the convergent rectangular channels with two opposite in-line ribbed walls are reported. The study has covered three different angled ribs ($30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$) and Reynolds number in the range of 22,000 to 75,000. The channel, composing of ten isolated copper sections in the length of test section of 1 m, has the channel convergence ratio of $D_{ho}/D_{hi}=0.67$. The results show that the ribs pointing downstream (${\wedge}-shaped$) is somewhat greater than the ribs pointing upstream (V-shaped) in the dimensionless Nusselt number and total friction factors.
