Fluid couplings are used extensively in automatic transmissions. This allows the car to stop while still remaining in gear. Also used for the smoothness that transfers the power from the driver to the driven member very smoothly in various power equipment.
Breather is provided where the oil tends to give out fumes after getting heated. in a fluid coupling the fluid is not heated upto that temperature hence not required
resilient plate is used to protect fluid coupling from damages and takes the overload acting on the device ,
yes,i think so.

i don't know actually
It is a fluid coupling using a viscous (thicker type) fluid, similar to the coupling between the drive and driven impeller of an automatic transmission in a car.
A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and/or controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential. They are also sometimes called a Fluid Flywheel.
They are of similar design, but a fluid coupling simply transmits torque (with some frictional loss), while a torque converter amplifies torque, similar to a reduction gear.
Membrane-type flexible coupling is used in steam turbines.
Scoop coupling is nothing but a fluid coupling works based on the hydro dynamic principle. Scooping is the collecting the oil from the working chamber(space between pump wheel and turbine wheel) which will effects the transmission.
Energy coupling
An oldham's coupling is used for connecting two parallel shafts where have asmall distance & have the same speed
