It is not possible to get a 100% efficient heat engine because of the temperature difference when the heat flows to the three major components of the engine which is the heat sink/cold object, the heat reservoir/heat source and the object where the work is done (bluffton.edu/~bergerd/NSC_111/thermo5.html). Temperatures equalize, rise and even fall hence the heat doesn't remain at the constant 100% as is thought of in theory.
