Low-grade waste heat conversion to electricity has drawn much attention toward reduction of production cost (Matsuura, Rowe et al. 1992, Rowe 1995, Ebrahimi, Jones et al. 2014). Organic Rankine cycle has been recently proved as a feasible solution with about 7% thermal efficiency and initial cost of about $2/watt for a high temperature of 116 °C and low temperature of 25 °C (Imran, Park et al. ...
