We derive general expressions and present several examples for the phoretic forces and torques acting on a translationally moving and rotating convex tracer particle, usually a submicrosized aerosol particle, assumed to be small compared to the mean free path of the surrounding nonequilibrium gas. Point of departure is an expression of the stress tensor in terms of half-sphere integrals to be evaluated with the inhomogeneous velocity distribution function of the surrounding gas, more specifically, its approximation in terms of a finite number of moments. A worked out example covers Grad's 13 moment approximation in and out of the so-called hydrodynamic approximation. We implement an accommodation coefficient characterizing the collision process in order to derive the tracer particle's complete equations of motion in a form which offers the possibility for immediate numerical implementation, and the analytical exploration of the effect of particle shape and size on phoretic drift velocity. Explicit expressions for axisymmetric, spherical, cylindrical, and also cuboidal particles are presented, discussed, and successfully compared with the rarely available, previously treated special cases, thus supporting the unifying approach presented in this manuscript.
