Because of the following reasons

(i) The main difficulty is that the cylinder should come in contact with the source,sink and stand again and again over a complete cycle which is very difficult to achieve in practice.

(ii) The working substance should be an ideal gas however no gas fulfils the ideal gas behaviour.

(iii) A cylinder with a perfectly frictionless piston cannot be realised
