Just fyi with liquids it's commonly called an azeotrope, not a eutectic (which is for solids despite them being the same thing in two different phases).
Primarily different terms because it's different branches of engineering that deal with the two.

You're confusing the Joule-Thomsom effect with a fundamental law.
It only applies to most gases at standard conditions, whereas liquids generally heat up as they are expanded.

Reply to comment by Truckerontherun in Scientists have figured out a way to engineer wood to trap carbon dioxide through a potentially scalable, energy-efficient process that also makes the material stronger for use in construction by giuliomagnifico
This uses wood as a sorbent to capture CO2 from a gas stream (targeting combustion exhaust) with the CO2 then being released and the sorbent used again. It is not an option for long-term storage.
