Unit converts for Ablative RT problem

Equation solved in Betti's code (SI units and Temperature in Joules)

where is Boltzmann constant and as in Betti's document and is the normal specific heat capacity. And the flux is

To convert this to cgs units we write

That is

In AstroBEAR we define and

Comparing the definition of and we have

In Betti's data, and so

This is great… Maybe you can put the diffusion equation that is solved in computational units to derive kappa1 and q*
