When you make your equations unitless, you define characteristic values for 
the quantities you are considering and express the actually values as 
multiples of these. This process typically results in some dimensionless 
numbers that are characteristic for the problem you are solving. If you 
want to get back to the "real" problem you just have to reverse this 
process, i.e. multiply the unitless values by the characteristic values. 
This approach to make sense normally requires something like 
geometric-similarity between the problem you are considering originally and 
the one you are solving on.
Can you specify what your problems are in this last step? Do you know what 
you want to do conceptionally ?

Best,
Daniel
